- Cutting flagstone can be done with a chisel or saw. We'll show you both methods and we have many more free videos at: www.the-flagstone-experts.com/...
Good cutting will make your flagstone project look so much better. My dad has been a mason for over 50 years and we'll show you all of the tips and tricks to give you more confidence.
We use a demo saw and chisel. If you have a big flagstone patio, you'll want a demo saw and usually you can rent one for about $100 a day. Good chisels will cost around $50.
If you're looking to install a whole patio, check out our whole video here:

you can tell this guy is a pro. The confidence in his movements really shows. thanks for the help!
Excellent video and a true craftsman! A passion for exceptional quality is very transparent by the work and explanation. Thank you, thank you!
It looks amazing to me. Great layout and joints
Very Helpful video, I'm ready to start cutting my flagstone now.
After watching his video, I was amazed on how good you could get cuts to sort of get to the shape you want. I took a piece of slate to practice on, very cool,wow, thanx
Fantastic info. Great quality video. Thank you for sharing this!
Great Vid.. The best is that shows a good relationship with your Dad.. God bless you all!
What Demo Saw would you recommend? Which model and brand is the one used for the vid?
Hey...How about the young guy install the stone, and the more experienced of the two run the camera and provide the narration!! I would like to add an important point - different flagstones are of different hardness, which impact how one can manipulate the stone. Some stone is quite soft, in my experience the lighter brown flagstones...where the colour being used here (more of a pink flagstone) is a more consistent, harder stone. Excellent video, guys!!!
Any advice on how to chip a flagstone that’s too thick? I want to use thin flagstones for a wall.. Tks much for your vids!
Do you have a video on cementing the stone down on the cement then grouting it?
how do you level irregular height stones?
Is it possible to drill a hole in the middle of Flagstone for an umbrella?
How much do you charge per square foot?
Cutting flagstone will be a lot easier for you after you watch this video!
Thank you! Excellent demo.
Looks like German engineering. Arnold Schwarzenegger got into the stone business.
No, clearly that is Albert Finney - sound and look ;)
Cutting natural stone with a saw???, I prefer to cut with a chisel and a small rock hammer, it looks more natural. and it doesn't create all that dust.
That's because you are too good to be watching this video. You should be carving statues for the Pope at the Vatican
Agreed, there's no need to saw cut.
I will often take cuts made with a Saw and tap the edges with a hammer or hammer and chisel to make it more natural to the eye.
Yes you can do it all with chisels but you better have the ones with carbide edges that are well over a hundred bucks a piece not to mention you better be a skilled stone mason and not just an hgtv wannabe. You do know you can connect a hose and wet cut the stone. Then take your brick hammer and tumble or face all the cut sides. Most importantly your pieces on the outside. I never cut my outside pieces but if you do make sure to tumble the entire side not just the top edge. Because over the years the grass or mulch or whatever is surrounding your flagstone can slowly drop a little over time and then it exposes the cut stone and sh*tty craftsmanship. But you probably knew all that didn't you Mr. weekend warrior.
I really wouldn't call a saw cut edge a "natural joint"
These guys did a pretty ok job...and the job looks great..but...these guys are not flagstone experts. I'm a mason. A mason wouldn't be using a saw for a stone that thin. Just a plain old hammer and chisel. Especially mixing cut edges with natural edges. The way he put a chiseled edge where it is exposed is great, but when you grout the rest of it in you will notice the cut edges that aren't re-worked against the natural edges. Again the job looks great, but if you want to learn the right way, watch a video about cutting stone with a hammer and or chisel.
isnt the point of installing "FLAGSTONE" not to have cut and straight edges, might as well just install tile if you want an edge, the natural beauty of flagstone is it's inherent rough edges.
Shane Williams yes I agreed with you but we can also use but the natural & and machine. l am suggest in that it depending on part an you want it look like
because we have deferent designs types when doing with flagstones! example
some examples are :
tiles lying or Tait spacing, Roget, external and internal pointing border can bring about natural or artificial edges. from stone mason.

garden hose please, so says the neighbors (if you feel the need to use a saw)
narration is not needed and most often doesn't even make sense in this video
