Great video, thanks for posting. I'd love to see any other tips you have for cutting caps for a radius !

[@iamahardscaper]

Will definitely get more of that in the future 👍

[@72tjustin]

What is the name of the marking tool that you use?

[@iamahardscaper]

the piece of soapstone that I am marking with?

[@72tjustin]

@@iamahardscaper yes the , I guess the holder threw me of

[@trent1755]

I've never seen soap stone in that size. Where do you get that?

[@moneymikeabildgaard419]

That pick up tool is for women...just put some gloves on

[@iamahardscaper]

😂

[@CanadianMason85]

Gloves are for women, men use tools. Name change recommendation: SoftHandsAbildgaard 😂

Nice job bro!You didn't use open grade this time!any particular reason?God bless!

[@iamahardscaper]

Thank you! Yeah, the other phase of the project is a retaining wall without a lower point to allow water to drain to so we need to go dense grade. So I just decided to keep both phases dense grade.

Oh, you can glue some kind of non Sliding striped materials and screw On a bumper stop for the down slope ride's.

[@iamahardscaper]

👍👍

What about a medium plastic trolley On med or sm wheel's that roll on Grass. Beautiful work on those cuts

[@iamahardscaper]

Thank you!

[@isaiahguerrero9929]

Do you have that link to the cap lifting tool? I’d like to go purchase one through your link.

[@iamahardscaper]

Yeah, I just put it into the description. Thank you for reminding me!

[@Sleepy609]

Can you use a circular saw to cut the paver caps or what do you use?

[@iamahardscaper]

You’d want to have a demo saw or table saw that is powerful enough with a diamond blade on it

[@Scottswrestling]

Great video. That for sharing your knowledge. Keep it up

[@iamahardscaper]

Thank you!

[@chatderue]

Do you take in consideration the spacer of your pavers or its just that you have 26inches of space between your caps and the foundation, so 2X13 will fit perfectly ? nice video !!

[@iamahardscaper]

Thank you! Yes, the 26” takes into factor the spacers. You also have to take into factor that the split face of the caps are not always uniform so you may need to run your saw along them (they are split faced on both sides) to ensure that the pavers will fit nicely.

[@chatderue]

@@iamahardscaper Thank you, have a nice week end !

[@moneymikeabildgaard419]

The back of your caps are not flush

[@iamahardscaper]

[@CanadianMason85]
