Maybe it doesn't work in your situation, but there is a standard technique.
You would like to place the brick to be cut in the hole at the end of the
row where you want it to fit, and then draw a cutting line on it... But
that's awkward at best. So, you use a whole brick up against the end of
the row that covers the next to the last brick in the row. Scribe that,
remove it, cut it, and replace with a new whole brick. Now, the piece you
cut exactly fits at the end of the row.

I just laid the main part of a 4x25' curving brick walkway. Now comes the
part where I need to fill in all the little angled and odd pieces. I have
rented a brick saw for the weekend but I am looking for tips & tricks to
accurately measure the angles and holes I have to fill. I plan on using a
tape measure and marking on the brick then cutting, but could use some
advice if anyone has any.
Thanks
