Cleaning out my shed and found an old lockboy from my apprentice days 30 years ago wow how times have changed in the tiling world . How may of you guys remember using tools like this along with a tipped chisel and cutting hammer for cutting quarries?

A drop of diesel in the sawdust helped to remove stubborn residue - didn’t half stink though.
