Re: Salvaging old bricks?
|
Text of the message: |
I once watched a crew taking down a large brick building and palletizing the (cleaned) bricks. They were using plain pieces of steel about 3/8 thick X 2" X about 15" long. A little tape wrapped around one end for a grip. Probably the more heft the better within limits of your wrist strength. Made myself one of these and it was way faster than a chisel. Cradle the brick in one hand and give the piece of mortar a whack at a low shear angle. Sometimes an entire mortar slab would come off with one hit. If you aren't in a hurry to use the brick, the residue seems to be self cleaning to a large extent if you stack them out in the weather over the winter, assuming you're somewhere that has wet, freezing winters. bill "Mark" <nospam@thanksanyway.org> wrote in message news:od6dnUDY4MRsFETfRVn-rg@w-link.net... > Any tips on salvaging old bricks?
