Re: Salvaging old bricks?

Text of the message:
   Years ago, I helped a friend clean a pile of used brick that he got
for free and used to build a patio.  The system we devised was to use
an air chissel with a 2" wide chissel blade.  Hold the air chissel at a
shallow angle and the mortar should come off quite easily without
damaging the brick face too much.  A few minutes of playing around, and
you'll get the technique down.  This is way easier than hammering and
it breaks fewer bricks as well.  A sharp chissel is the secret.  This
work quickly dulls the blade, so it really helps to have some type of
grinder on hand to resharpen every so often.  Ear and eye protection,
gloves, and a dust mask are all a must for this type of work.  I think
my friend may have cleaned the bricks afterward using a muratic acid
solution, but I can't recall for sure.  And oh yes, we're still
friends...
