My intention is to hit the brick(s) with a masonry cutoff wheel (or diamond) in an angle grinder at 10,000rpm. The concept is to do some "stone-carving," if you will. The notion is to glue some bricks together for a suitably larger piece to carve.
In your opinion, do you predict that my cutters will get all gummed up with the adhesive?

Diamond might get gummed up.
Masonry cutoff wheel abrades as it cuts, so adhesive goes away with the crumbs.

Thanks Joe.
Now it seems I have to haul my grinder with me to the big city to get the wheels I need.
Not much choice in this village of 550! What's here fits every other grinder ever made but mine. Perhaps that's why mine was on sale? I'm not prepared to buy a big fat Makita, not just yet.

Well, I'm one step closer after a visit to the city:
wet cutting diamond wheel
dry cutting diamond wheel
60 & 120 grit flap sanding disks
2 x 6mm/1/4" masonry disks
6 x 1/16" masonry cutoff disks
1. If the washed out road has been fixed, I'll get up to a sand mine and get some very fine sand to lap the brick surfaces to flatter than they are now. Can't find what I dug up last summer, maybe ran out.
2. Polyurethane adhesives are supposed to work OK for masonry. "Elmer's Ultimate" was 1/2 the price of Gorilla.
3. Any suggestions on water flow rate for the wet diamond blade?

YOu need mega epoxy that's what we call it dries to 80mpa used for gluing stone to other surfaces such as concrete and steel. Used by stone bench top company's to glue false edges on to do water fall ends.

One of my mates "paved" his curved driveway with bricks in a pattern with small squares of dirt & future grass among them. He used polyurethane sealant to glue some of the bricks at the perimeter for restraint against drifting. It's held up well so far, in spite of his wife's driving skill. He used black; I think it'a also available in gray, but probably not red. Sticks immediately, cures in a day or two. Joints were about 1/8".
