The patio bricks are now all cut and placed (pictures to follow). I was able to finish the rest of the cuts (fan, edges and circle) in one afternoon thanks to my new tub saw. The 10" blade cuts a brick in one pass, allowing me to make neater edges and to work a lot faster.

Tub SawI was going to buy a 7" table saw at Home Depot, but when I stuck my nose into Harbor Freight they had a 10" saw for the same price that Home Depot wanted for their 7" saw. The design of a tub saw also does a lot to make the process easier and cleaner. The water jet on this saw is directed down onto the blade, and there's a mud flap on the back so most of the mess winds up in the tub. The only issue I saw was that the water pump takes up a fair amount of grit, and sometimes I had to do a little fiddling to shake the impeller loose and get the water flowing.
