Hiya,
Anyone got any tricks and tool recommendation for cutting adobe's? I don't
mind cutting them by hand but not sure what sort of sawing implement I
should use.
Cheers,

Adobe what ? How about a Wet Saw ?

Adobe blocks. 4"x10"x14" Wet Saw will just make a mess of them. Adobe
and water don't mix too well.
I've seen one guy take an old tine type rake, cut the tines back, and
sharpen them. He used that to cut. I don't have an old rake and I hate
to go buy one! Was just hopeful someone out there might have a different
method.
Cheers,

If you're talking about cutting adobe in place, as in cutting an
opening for a door or window, use barbed wire. Strongly suggest that
you wrap each end around a broom handle - otherwise it smarts. You
need two people, one on either side of the wall and the operation is
the same as the two-person pit saw or loggers saw.
