And yet, when special forces or karatekas break bricks with a blow of their hand at demonstration performances, is this true or a trick?
Rummaged through the Internet. Some write that the bricks were re-heated and the main problem was to preserve them so that they would not crumble prematurely. Others argue that there is no secret, the brick is the most real, not specially sawn, not processed, but they break it for real. Some begin to talk about the strength of the earth and the vector of strength and meditation, others about many years of stuffing their fists, others that at the age of 14-16 almost all the boys in the yard broke bricks with a fist. I'll ask for Hansa. Maybe they'll tell me the truth...

I don’t know about the power of the earth and vectors .... But I smashed it in my youth, then in the army, then too. The girls were especially impressed .... Then he quit. There is nothing difficult there, the main thing is to hit correctly. Now I can probably do it too... But I won't. Only if with someone to argue.

red bricks, even in adolescence, it was possible to break in half with a blow to break ...
ordinary, which were stored on the street.

o.tuk 29-05-2012 14:09

The red ones break normally, it depends not so much on the dray force, but on the speed and sharpness of the impact. It is important to hit it correctly, precisely aligning the impact vector with the impact plane, otherwise you can get injured or just peel off the skin, it’s also unpleasant. Now I don’t break, arthrosis of the wrist joint, but not from this)))).

Boards are easy to break too. they are broken into fibers. and this is not to show prowess, but to indicate a blow.

Kovarsky 29-05-2012 22:10

the reds broke with minimal shock training, at the age of 15 they could already.
and somehow he didn’t think of a cheating blow with the base of his palm, he hit him with his rib and fist.
silicate and facing - he did not break and did not see, it was too lazy to reach.

But I remembered that I dreamed of doing it at the age of 12-15 under the influence of the same films. I recently watched some video on the topic of the Airborne Forces, where they beat bricks. And I thought, why am I worse than an airborne officer? I read their standards, I think that a little practice would be invested. Can I crack a brick? But, first, you need to figure out if this is real at all. In the circus, girls are also sawed in half with a saw, but you probably shouldn’t take it without knowing the secret.

If the brick lies leaning on the edges like the crossbar of the letter "P", then it's real to break, but if the brick lies on a flat surface, then I don't know, I didn't succeed.
The brand of brick is also important - somehow at a construction site I threw a brick from the 7th floor onto a concrete slab lying on the ground, so only a small piece broke off from the edge, and the brick itself flew off 4-5 meters to the side, while other thrown bricks sometimes scattered almost in splashes.

The bottle is dipped in hot water, and then in cold.
After that, you can safely prick her on the head.

I was never interested in bottles, especially since in my childhood I witnessed several drunken fights,
where those bottles were pricked on the skulls by almost dozens, and without any soaking in water - except for the vodka previously poured there

but about the pieces of wood I would like from a connoisseur in more detail
because already in more adulthood about my Hong-Za Kuen and Sanda instructor, in front of my eyes, at a distance of two steps, 2 full-sized birch shovel handles were broken

because I, like the whole group, before that, as soon as I didn’t examine those cuttings, and knocked on the floor,

Even in the SA, under the demobilization at the garrison review of art amateur performances, in addition to the singers from our unit, hand-to-hand fighters with knives and machine guns performed in one room, then they beat red bricks with the edge of the palm of their hand (preliminarily subjected to heating with blowtorches), and the most spectacular was my performance, with a clamped nail in his hand he punched boards up to 35 mm thick.

A bottle, an ordinary euro-container, not pre-prepared in any way, so perfectly and without much tension breaks on the head.

Some bottles are strong. So it's better to be prepared. In my youth, I foolishly pricked a lot of things about the head, so I know firsthand.

Didn't understand about 20 years? This is in the sense that you broke up 20 years ago, but now you can’t? Well, how can I know who broke when and who is now in shape and who is not? What claims can you make? Of course none. But maybe there is someone younger? I just do not find fault, though it would be interesting to look at the breaking of a simple "uncooked" brick. Maybe it’s on YouTube, but you won’t understand the trick or something, but here I would take the author’s word for it.

Not a fig to itself the brush is flattened. IMHO, it is incorrectly folded, the fingers are spread out even before the impact. We were taught to press tightly, slightly bending. On the left, he never learned to press the first finger as expected.

Empirically, from what he had done, he learned that his fingers had to be bent, otherwise it hurt. Then he often did the same while serving in the army.
The bottles were also pierced on the head without any preparation of glass containers. Scatter only on the way!
Punched three boards with a nail. Then you move the boards apart and show the public a kind of helicopter. In this case, there was some preparation for the action, namely, he put a 5 by 5 cm piece of footcloth folded several times under the nail head.

Tale to the topic. In the 10th grade, they rested at the camp site. The Airborne Forces-k settled in our house (judging by the form decorated like a Christmas tree, he just demobilized). Drank in the evening. We are few, but the comrade paratrooper is decent. And he did not find any more grateful audience than us. First, we listened to stories that the Airborne Forces are invincible, and the comrade paratrooper is the most invincible. Then how he shoots a 5 kopeck coin from the AKS at 1000 meters and cuts the tank barrel with a blow of his hand. And at the end of the monologue, he effectively broke a bottle of vodka on his head. I must say it made an impression on us.
But when, after 10 minutes, he began to pester the girlfriend of our "jock", he got a straight in the jaw from him, flew off the back of his head into the wall and quietly slid down it. We got scared and dragged him to his room.
In the morning he kept saying - "Vodka is bad, my head hurts a lot." Nobody tried to dissuade him.
And after this incident, I somehow calmly began to look at such tricks.

A week ago I decided to shake the old days. In a neighboring yard, a transformer box was broken, whole bricks were neatly laid down. Well, I couldn't get past. First, right on the spot, he slammed three things one at a time. Then he took off his shoes and broke two with his heel. Tajiks immediately appeared, they began to make noise about what they were collecting, and some of them were breaking everything.
But for 100 rubles, another 20 pieces were taken in a cart to the car.
I took them to the dacha, I'll break them there. Once broke and without support, and standing with a fist with an emphasis. Haven't had fun with this in a long time.

Red brick

Color does not always determine strength. Just as the form does not always determine the content. In reality, almost never at all, but with bricks - not always.

As a rule, an ordinary brick breaks not because, but because it must withstand other loads, namely, in a building or structure - the overlying one presses on it, and does not hit it with all its dope (the word dope here is the key and exhaustive of the actual question) .

I didn’t break bottles on my head and didn’t even try. And so my poor head had enough shocks. I didn't have much experience with boards either.
But with a brick, I remember the case.

I was 20 years old, I was closely engaged in hand-to-hand combat, I was in good shape and at 75 kg of weight. I had kms "and, I hoped to become a ms. I specifically stuffed my knuckles, patiently and regularly. I broke red bricks a couple of times, not to say that it was very easy, but I broke it. I wanted to break silicate (we called them refractory) yellow bricks. Within 3 months practiced even more.

And the day has come. When trying to destroy the brick he was looking for, he broke his little finger in two places and, in addition, grabbed a fracture of one of the small bones of the wrist joint. Subsequently, it turned out that this smallest bone somehow deformed the articular element and excess synuvial fluid began to accumulate there. The result was a ganglion of the back of the wrist. Now I am 25 years old, no ms "but it didn’t work out (then I also broke my knee on a backflip with a split landing), and nothing good came of it at all.

Conclusion: I'm an idiot.

Instructive story. Maybe it's for the best that the little finger broke, but the head remained intact (no kidding).

what is the most important stuffing? regularity and time.

actually, the stuffing itself is carried out due to many blows on the concrete surface, but with less effort than usual.

Everything else is lead-up exercises.
Static first, then dynamic.

1. to start with the emphasis lying as for push-ups, at least five minutes a day. you can read a book like this
2. banal push-ups on fists - bring 100 per approach
3. starting position as in paragraph 1 - for the even jump we tear our hands off the floor, land on the palm, then back. 50 times.
UPR.3 do not earlier than after three months of regular exercise. 1 and 2.

A! Here's to you ready way to check whether the Teacher is good or bullshit. Bring him a brick, and let him show that he is a teacher, then you can go to him like training. All in all - let the brick immediately gouge like this: KIAAAASTSUKO !!! -shryas. If the brick breaks, then this is a standing Teacher. I don't think it would be difficult for a true master to give a potential student such a simple demonstration.

If this "teacher" does this, then this is a psycho, do not go to such, do not.

In general - silicate brick - is unlikely to break at all. And red, classic, at least Soviet - breaks - well, maybe not with the palm - with the palm too, but more difficult, but with the forearm - in general - nothing is even noticeable.

Only the meaning of this is not entirely clear - there are still things that cannot be broken with a fist or mawashi-geri - well - for example, even the wall of your house - break it with a fist or a kick - they will erect a monument to you. In hell.

And yet, without lyrics, strictly on the topic, here, probably, all atheists, well, well. So how does materials science relate to a hand breaking a brick? How about some bricks? And the board - by the way - IMHO - so the board is more difficult. How does the sopromat feel about this? How does medicine, biology, after all, relate to this. How can it - nothing - what is in the hand - not with any stuffing form a composition stronger than a brick or a board. This is impossible. But - they do it. And - not only ostentatious, but quite real, this is a fact. So what do they believe?

Sergey_Fedotov_2013 07-05-2013 18:47

It has nothing to do with pure physics. Sopromat - this is what it has to do with it - but it will be difficult for atheists, because they like to deny everything, but here you need to think ...

Happy Holidays, gentlemen! I’ve never karateka, but I’ve broken bricks since the eighth grade: put a brick on the other two with your right hand, straighten the heel of your palm, point it to the center of the brick and sharply lower your right shoulder, raising your left shoulder - the red brick breaks in most cases. This was shown to us, schoolchildren, by one Afghan, a former graduate of our school. Later, in the army, he stuck to one karateka: break a brick - he easily broke it without placing it on a support, he simply hit it with the edge of his palm. I also saw how a friend of this karateka broke a board with the edge of his foot, which we installed during the construction in the doorway to fasten the door itself, almost a brick thick, such a specific blow: one leg steps behind the other and the other goes sideways, unbending, these are my personal visions of tameshiwari

o.tuk 12-06-2013 21:59

Citizens, in tameshiwari, the main thing is not strength, but technique. If you did everything right, then it doesn't hurt. And on one brick and contact is not particularly felt. If not white, of course

alsalax 13-06-2013 19:26

That's right, the main thing is to hit sharply and without a doubt - scared - the blow will slow down. You will hurt your hand. in general, before chopping bricks, it’s not bad to hit a brick with another brick: if it cracks, then you can beat it, you just come across batches of red bricks that you can’t crack with a hammer, and a bricklayer cuts a normal brick with a light blow of a trowel for the length he needs. It’s more difficult with boards, I wouldn’t recommend hitting an unknown board with your hand, only with a foot in shoes. Well, a cheating method: lower boards and bricks into water, and then put them in the freezer: expanding water increases microcracks, and tameshiwari is more work for the public, but - at least in the performance of, for example, Fedorishena: shows what he will beat with his fingertips and breaks with the edge of his palm, imperceptible to the naked eye, but in slow motion you can see how it is? like a respectable person. And the stuffing somewhat strengthens the bones, forms a striking surface, but it is not capable of making kentos steel instead of bone

I swear, in slow motion it is clearly visible that Mr. Fedorishen delivers this blow with the edge of his palm, and not with his fingers, how can I trust people now? Surely nothing is lost on the Internet, please, if anyone has a saved video, put it here, not for the sake of trolling, but for health: otherwise, young men will continue to believe in diamond fingers and jade fists and cripple their hands

My dad remembers in the distant Soviet basement karate, slandering his mother, kicked the sink with his foot and broke the bathtub. I don’t know what result he wanted to achieve, but the leg somehow did not suffer. Well, then they were engaged in complete tin in the first schools - standing on rice, stuffing an iron shirt, etc.

I noticed more than once in a blow - imagine how you splinter an object into chips. Then repeat the same thing in real life and often this will help to significantly increase the blow. Of course, the strength of the brushes and at least the primary stuffing is the key to success and the absence of injuries ...

alsalax 16-06-2013 09:48

I remembered another tameshivarya, you don’t need strength at all, but it makes an indelible impression on tipsy girls, don’t show it sober: they will smell it right away. Any bottle lies with its neck to the left on the asphalt and a blow is struck with both hands with the left on the neck of the right in the center, the essence of the trick is that the blow with the left hand is the first, then the bottle rises and right hand breaks on the asphalt, if the hands reach the target with a small difference in time, then cheating is not noticeable, passes with the hands, shouts of kiai and oss, are necessary for the entourage P.S. without carrying, of course, otherwise you will cut your hand

Don’t worry so much for those who can’t break either a brick or a board - the question is, what kind of boards and which bricks break. And they break shitty bricks and special boards. no one will break the board. Of course, they, karatekas, are all stuffed. Who argues, but it’s still, by and large, a trick that does not guarantee against fractures of the same metacarpal bones or lower legs. You need to stuff your fists, but better stuff with a bare fist or a thin glove on a boxing bag, practicing combinations, the series will gradually fill up. There was such a champion in bare-knuckle boxing Tom Cribb, so he stuffed his fists on a tree trunk, which, however, did not stop him from breaking his hand on Tom Molino's head .

Dear members of the forum, look at the Badyuk website for a stuffing complex and all questions will disappear by themselves. The process is long, everyday and tedious, it is possible to prepare normally impact surfaces only in a few years, and in no case on a concrete wall or a bag in order to avoid unnecessary injuries. Only makiwara and standing / push-ups on fists gives desired result. And for tameshiwari, technique is important, let's say, it even comes first. Brick and board will give back with the wrong technique, in proportion to the effort applied, those who broke and did not break know.

Dear comrades, tameshiwari is a window dressing from the outside, in fact, this is a test of MY strength and readiness to strike, first of all, to show myself whether I am ready to do it or not. And after all this show. First of all, this is a breaking for oneself, no matter what, and if others were surprised by this, it is doubly interesting. Every six months certification, and accordingly tameshiwari. It was that he didn’t break his plan, he knocked down his hands and got back from the object, worked on himself, analyzed and beat again. The main thing was to overcome my fear of failure, and what is it in sight - so well - at least the children like it, their parents like it, people watch and come to practice, quit bad habits and they come. So what is the point in showing off and in confronting the fighter with himself and this board - will I break it, or do I still need to work on myself?

I saw this too, the boards are different, even fresh ones, but with such logic it can be argued that I have not seen anyone breaking through a concrete slab with his head, well, or breaking a concrete floor with his bare hand. It's all nonsense. First of all, it is a sport, and people acquire health and new skills. And after that, as you call it, window dressing. Why not show it, after all, if you can? Here you, for example, dear, can you show at least one board that you have broken, albeit a small one, not with a hammer, of course, without banter?

That’s exactly what you don’t need. Of course, earlier, in our younger years, my friends and I, having seen enough militants, stuffed our fists, tried to break something. Then you realize that this is not necessary, especially after boxing. : they are also inapplicable in life and we all understand that these are tricks, not magic, but we won’t be able to repeat them, but we look with interest.

Boards, bricks and sticks - ordinary

Sorry, so far only in VK - I have a green belt)

To divide a brick, the price of which is set based on its characteristics, does not require much effort. Using the right method, you can break it by splitting a quarter, two longitudinal or transverse halves. To get it right, you need the brick itself and a hammer.

What are the parts of a brick?

To know where to strike, you need to understand and be able to determine the edges of the brick. Exists:

• the spoon, also called the gantry side, is the widest and longest part of the product;
• the poke, also called the poke side, is the back part that acts as a connection between the height and width of the product.

Depending on what part of the brick is required for further work, the blow is applied either to the gantry or to the bond side.

What does it take to break a brick?

To split a brick in half, you need a good and durable hammer, which has a tapered end available. The best solution would be a pick used in the work of masons, but most often there is no such tool at hand. At the same time, no table or fastening for a brick is required - professionals recommend holding it on weight, holding it with one hand.

How to split a brick?

To split a brick you will need:

• Chalk or sharp object. With their help, you need to mark the fault line in order to know where to strike. If chalk is used, then it is better to choose a contrasting color, otherwise you can lose the markup during work. A crack should appear along this line, appearing after several blows with a hammer.
• For a hollow brick, you will need to apply light blows with the tapered end of the hammer along the previously outlined line. It is necessary to wait for the appearance of small cracks on the surface of the material. Then you should go to the central part of the brick and finally split it.
• For a solid brick, light blows are required less, it is necessary to hit once quickly and strongly strictly perpendicular to the gantry side. This should be enough to crack the product, and it can be finally broken into pieces and used in construction.

Before proceeding with the splitting of bricks used directly in construction work, it is advisable to practice a little on old materials. To learn how to strike correctly, you should choose a product similar in characteristics.

It is not difficult to break a single brick once, but breaking bricks as a constant practice requires spiritual strength and self-confidence. If you don't have that confidence, you won't be able to break bricks or anything else. The bricks you see in these photos are regular Japanese red bricks. However, the success of breaking techniques varies greatly depending on the quality of the bricks you use. We personally made a terrible mistake once, twelve years ago, demonstrating brick breaking in Mexico and choosing the wrong type of brick. best type The brick for a crushing Karate technique is one that is light in the hand and doesn't ring when you hit it against others. Avoid the type of bricks with which Americans often pave the streets, because they are hard as iron and cannot be broken with bare hands. On the other hand, you can break ordinary red bricks a couple of pieces at a time. Even a novice, if he practices hard enough, can hope to one day be able to break as many as three bricks at once.

Those people who can actually break three bricks at once with the edge of the palm, of course, deserve the right to be called the masters of the "hand-knife". Anyone who can break more than two bricks with one blow could probably use the same technique to break a large dog's neck. And he could also cut off the horn of the bull.

My own experience has shown that it is possible to break the neck of any Japanese dog with a single blow of the "hand-knife". I have done this more than once, although it was several years ago. I can say the same about bull horns. Despite our perseverance and having a proper teacher, which is indispensable for learning Karate, we must carefully study the stone or brick that we are going to break. Although today the number of people practicing Karate has increased, I was one of the first to break the necks of dogs with the edge of my hand and cut off the horns of about forty bulls, and therefore understand better than others the need for competent Karate trainers. Age, of course, gives us experience in technical skills, but it also leads to the inevitable loss of strength and speed, so we should learn the methods of breaking objects in our younger years and under the guidance of good teachers. Although we cannot give a clear mathematical analysis of all the tricks, we would like to explain them in terms of dynamics. In other words, we want to explain them in a way that even a beginner can understand.

When we first started learning Karate techniques to break rocks and bricks, we certainly had some doubts about the real power of Karate techniques. Of course, before that we had heard about masters who could break stone or brick, but we had not yet seen a single real example with our own eyes. Finally, after we found our own methods of breaking objects, we showed them to a very famous Chinese Kempo master, and he took it with fear mixed with admiration, although in our performance these exercises did not look too easy.

Of course, it is easy for anyone to follow in the footsteps of a pioneer. Anyone can get to America after Columbus has already discovered this continent, because it is not so difficult to repeat the discovery once made. Now that we have found our ways of breaking stones and bricks, and our techniques have spread widely, any healthy man can do it. This, of course, is good, but we want to point out that even a properly executed technique of breaking objects can break your bones.

It will be too late to ask how to straighten your wrist or heal a dislocation after you've already been injured. If you practice breaking things with your knife hand in the wrong way often enough, you will notice that over time your hand will deform, its skin color will change, and you will experience certain inconveniences.

Knife punch

1. It is better to break a brick on an anvil, which should be as large as possible in the interests of stability. The anvil is set at about chair seat height, and a very tall person may use the anvil at knee height. A person with quick nerve reflexes could put the anvil directly on the ground, but it would still be more accurate to set the anvil at a level just above your own knees. A towel is placed at one end of the anvil, rolled up about the width of the hand. The brick is taken in the hand that you are going to use to hold it, and the towel is used to protect the back of the hand from injury. Usually this left hand, and it covers about a third of the brick.

2. Place another rolled up towel on the brick where you intend to strike. This point should be just below the center of the brick. The place where a brick breaks most easily is about four ninths from its edge. Get a firmer grip on the top third of the brick and lift its end about a finger's height from the anvil.

3. The moment of the "hand-knife" strike that breaks the brick. If you don't break the brick with the first blow, wait a second or two and try a second and third time. Almost any brick will break on the third hit, or even earlier.

To build a brick house, you will need not only standard, but also incomplete blocks, the size of which is a multiple of ¼, ½ and ¾ of the full-sized building material. Therefore, one cannot do without the ability to chop a brick into pieces. Do it manually using percussion or special tools. But to get a brick block of the right size, it is not enough to have the necessary tools. You need to know what elements the building material can be divided into, and how to do it correctly.

Why do you need to break a brick?

When erecting a brick wall in the process of performing rough masonry, there is a need for smaller bricks. This is necessary to obtain even and thin masonry seams and its full dressing. Facing work is also performed using non-standard material. Therefore, the block is divided into parts, the edges of which have a flat surface. To get a brick of the desired shape and size, it is broken along or across, thus obtaining two halves of equal size, or a quarter is chipped off.

Tools and methods

To obtain elements of the desired size from the whole product, use the following tools:

• hammer with a tapered end;
• pick;
• machine for processing bricks;
• Bulgarian.

If you need to do the work with your hands, you can use a pickaxe.

A hammer or pickaxe is used to split a brick in half or into other sizes by hand. This is the traditional way of splitting brick blocks. It saves time when performing masonry, as it can be done without leaving the workplace. The block can be divided into the following elements: half, quarter, three quarters. The cut surface should be smooth. To do this, it is rubbed with a brick. An edge with an insufficiently even surface, if this does not contradict technological standards, can be hidden inside the masonry.

To split a brick manually with a pick or hammer, the blow must be applied strictly at an angle of 90 degrees.

The method of splitting a brick with a machine tool or a grinder is faster and makes it possible:

• obtain high accuracy of the required dimensions;
• make a flat surface of the formed face;
• to split a brick not only at a right angle.

For grinders, diamond discs are better suited, as they are considered less dangerous and have a longer service life. There are simple ones with a solid edge, segmented and with a serrated surface. Simple discs provide a smooth surface, but quickly overheat and wear out, segment discs heat up slowly and are suitable for cutting using dry technology. Toothed disc elements are durable and resistant to wear. Suitable for wet and dry cutting. The bed is used for cutting bricks along and across. When using modern tools, it is important to comply with safety rules, in particular, use dust protection.

Splitting stages

Before the splitting itself, special marks are made on the material.

The process of giving a brick block the desired size is divided into three stages:

• choice of brick;
• notching or marking;
• peg.

When choosing a block for halving, you should pay attention to the absence of cracks, otherwise it will crack incorrectly. To get a quarter, building materials with broken corners on one side are suitable. When splitting by hand, notches are applied to the long side face (spoons) of a suitable brick block. To obtain a more accurate split, they are made on all 4 faces. After that, with a strong blow of a hammer or pick on the notch on the spoon part, the block is broken. When striking, it is held on weight, holding in the center or for the most part. Before using the machine or grinder, for accuracy, the necessary marking is applied with a construction pencil, and then cut near the marking line.

From the author: hello my dear readers. Very often, during the construction process, we face many small problems that need to be solved here and now. If you are faced with an exclusive type of masonry, then the question of how to cut oven bricks at home may appear by itself.

Why cut brick

Quite often, amateur masons are faced with the problem of changing the classic dimensions of a particular type of brick. Few resort to generally accepted standards and try to find their own methods to make an ordinary block small-sized.

The reason for the need for such actions is becoming. Many times I have resorted to a variety of cutting methods during the construction process due to the fact that it was necessary to make a beautiful joint, finish the side correctly, lay out the corner, fill in the missing or fallen part.

Having gained experience, I identified several basic ways to cut a brick with my own hands:

• with the help of improvised materials;
• using a specialized, manual, entrenching tool;
• auxiliary electrical equipment;
• technology designed specifically for this.

Each of them has occupied its own niche in the modern market of the construction industry. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

improvised materials

Not always at hand is the right equipment that will help to do the job better. However, if your hands are growing out of the right place, you can special efforts solve the problem on the spot.

I repeatedly had to break stones right at the place of work, as time was running out, and it makes little sense to get bulky equipment in order to make just one copy of the required size. If you have never done this before, be sure that the first time will not work.

So, if there was nothing suitable nearby, it is worth arming yourself with an ordinary hammer and chisel. If the second is also not available, the first will suffice. It is very important that there is no mechanism on the reverse side for removing nails. It's better to be small than big. You don't even have to think about hitting with a sledgehammer. It will just spoil everything, although I will not say that I have not seen such rather non-unique events.

With light strokes of the brush, separate the part you need and use it further for its intended purpose. Be prepared for the fact that you can ruin a few pieces, because this is a rather delicate matter that requires accuracy.

Of course, not everything depends on you. It is quite possible that simply low-quality material fell into the hands, which is now enough divorced.

Trench tool

The availability of more serious equipment that allows you to perform the necessary manipulations with bricks is not always affordable. If you do not operate on a large budget and can only afford simple, even primitive ones, do not despair. With their help, you can also do everything quickly and efficiently.

The first tool was called "pick". They come in completely different sizes and are used in different ways. back side the hammer, which was mentioned in the previous paragraph, performs exactly these functions, however, such a entrenching tool alone will bring an order of magnitude more benefit than tied to another.

They need to be used carefully, with light, but accurate blows to the required area. The force that will need to be applied should not blow the brick to shreds, remember this.

The disadvantage of such techniques is that it will be difficult for you to make an angular chip, and even if it does, then its evenness will obviously be lame. Consequently, a normal joint will not work, and all aesthetics will disappear to no one knows where.

There was one familiar grandfather in my lifetime, who was considered the best of the best. Like, he himself is two floors in three days. And everything was exactly, and of high quality. I had to work with him once, and of course, when it came to the end of the side, I had to break off a piece. For this, my grandfather had a special small, home-made pickaxe.

I remember how he took one brick and struck. Naturally, part of it disappeared, but this was not enough. He threw another blow, and from one we got three, and not one of them fit the size. So he spoiled about 3-4 pieces per corner.

I offered to use a cutting device, to which I heard insulting expressions. In the end, at the end of the work, the customer was dumbfounded by how much material was damaged. I told this all to the fact that be prepared for a huge amount of waste materials, unless, of course, you understand that using newer methods is more effective.

Standard electrical equipment

Anyone who plans to start a renovation or construction project should have standard electrical equipment that will help facilitate almost every aspect of the job. A drill and a jigsaw will not help us, but we will have to resort to the help of an angle grinder. In the people, it is called Bulgarian, if you did not immediately understand what it was about.

I will tell you about a few aspects that you need to know:

• select the correct drive. To work with materials based on concrete, you need to use specialized diamond blades. Don't worry, they're not made entirely of diamonds, and they're not worth millions. All that distinguishes them is the diamond coating, which allows you to work without damage to the tool;
• get ready to clean up. Furnaces, pipes and other structures that are laid out of heat-resistant bricks are mostly located indoors. It should be remembered that when working with a grinder, a lot of dust is generated. So either be prepared to clean for a long time, or go outside and do the work there;
• do not forget about safety precautions. It is worth remembering that wearing protective gloves and goggles will help maintain your health.

Once, being still inexperienced, but already an adequate person, I came to work and saw this picture. An “experienced” man of about forty was sitting and winding a cutter for cutting wood on a grinder.

I asked in bewilderment what he wants to do to them, because we are. He said that you need to cut off a small piece. I was shocked, but to all my objections I heard only that I was still young and did not understand anything in this life.

In the end, as soon as he touched the clay brick with a disk spun to high speed, the cutter began to break, and the teeth, one by one, stuck into the board on which the work was carried out. For this imaginary builder, everything turned out to be a fright, for me a smirk, but it’s good that everyone remained safe and sound.

Specialized equipment

By specialized machinery, I mean machines designed for smooth cutting. They are mostly self-made. Their meaning is to fix the angle grinder at the required angle with the possibility of free vertical movement.

It is also necessary to fix the brick itself, because this is the only way we can achieve the most even cut in the right place. If you don't secure the stone properly, be prepared for it to fly out and damage anything that may be around the rig.

How to cut at an angle

Here I will tell you a little life hack. In order to cut the brick straight at an angle and possibly add a missing piece inside the kiln, you can build a small machine that resembles a ceiling molding cutter. It is quite possible that you will take it and easily make an excellent stone joint both on the outer and inner corners.

Curly cutting of bricks

Quite rarely, but still there are such moments that require curly masonry from you or from a bricklayer. For example, my father, when laying out an English fireplace, wanted a certain pattern to show off around the perimeter, and that there were absolutely no sharp corners. Then he told me how to achieve a more aesthetic appearance in buildings that lend themselves to high temperatures.

To do this, he needed two things:

• machine for fixing an angle grinder with a wide diameter disc;
• experience with this tool.

In order to fix the grinder, in fact, the usual vise is enough. After you have completed the first step, check the strength of the lock on the freewheel. It's possible that the effort you put in is not enough, but don't overdo it so as not to break the plastic case.

Then draw a pattern on the side of the brick and carefully, holding it firmly, cut it out. How this is done exactly, you can see in the video below:

The most important thing, which I did not mention above, is the process of calculations. Remember that it is better to measure seven times and cut once than to repeat the mistakes of the past and spoil a huge amount of already expensive bricks.
