Stone cutting for Retaining Wall? - retaining wall instructions
I recently completed a retaining wall of stone. The stones were trapezoidal, so the stones could be added in an oval in decent shape around the desired area.
Now we have a thinner layer of stone so it looks finished. The thing is this:
The keystone is square, so that the stones, the other hard incredible because you do not adapt themselves to the trapezoidal stones. We must reduce in order to do so.
I have all the necessary tools to carve the stones in my opinion, I do not know how the alignment of the stones to create lines of it. There are about 50-60 in all rocks, stones and 2 in a straight line, that is, a bit of a turn every stone in it. So all the pieces must be cut.
Is there a method to create lines of cut stones? What are some general instructions on how this is done by professionals?
Thanks

Get a bevel indicator. You get them removed in any hardware store or home. Use this function to draw the angle on the wall, and then transfer to stone. It is a very useful tool. Hope this helps.
Since the angle indicator for the 1st Person said to use, I have a Skil saw with a diamond blade for cutting the lid. There is a nice clean edge vs try a hammer and chisel.
