Cutting cap blocks
#1
I have a retaining wall that could use some finishing touches.  I've specifically avoided putting caps on it because the wall itself has a changing curvature over about a 15-foot span, and so each cap would have to be custom cut.  Short of renting a masonry saw, how big of a PITA is it to make straight cuts in 3-5 inch cap blocks?  

Are the masonry blades for a circular saw worth anything?  Is it easier just to score them and then hit with a chisel to split?

I'll post pics when it's all done, but this is really the last major bit of the back deck project, and after 2 years, I'm itching to get it finished off.
