My B.I.L. helped me build a retaining wall a few years ago using "flagstone" from an abandoned quarry on the family farm. We did not cut any of the store for it; we just used the straight side of each piece for the "face". We covered the top with a grand"s worth of nicely cut flagstone from an active quarry. Neither of us had ever built a wall or a patio before! We laid a patio and only cut one stone to make the last piece of the puzzle. If you have to cut, I found that a diamond blade is much, much faster than a masonry wheel. I have cut a few flagstones for a sidewalk and a couple of caps for chimneys. The last cap I made, is the one I used the diamond blade on and it cut like butter. A stone mason of mine showed me how to get a real nice "rough cut" looking edge after cutting with a blade. Put on a goo set of eye and face protection and heat the edge with an acetylene torch. Pieces will pop off and it will look like it was chipped with a hammer. I found this work to be very satisfying.
