Hi iam just about to start building a small L shape wall (double brick)

The problem that i have is the corner is not a 90deg angle it is less, say about 80deg.

Any suggestions on how i should cut/shape the bricks

Regards

You need to birdsmouth the corner.

Hard to explain, but Google or YouTube may help

You basically form the corner on an angle, and when you bond the next course, you end up with a triangle gap, which you flaunch

If you end with a stretcher, then you must continue with a stretcher as the next brick on the angled part of the wall, and then half-bond it on the next course and then you will see

You can get angled bricks, but not at 80 degrees
