Step 2: Drilling
Drilling holes in the stud locations not only allow placement of the dowel stud, but it is where the studs of other bricks clip in. This means the placement is very critical. a 3 ? 16 drill bit is the bit I used. I strongly suggest leaving space around the actual brick so it does not fracture.(trims nice later) Making an indent with the drill bit or an awl, or center punch will make it a little easier. (I cheated and used a thin piece of plastic as a template so I only had to plot once)

Step 4: Finishing
After all studs are put in, the block can be cut out of the rough cut.Before you do clip a brick into the bottom to widen the holes.(start with a 1 stud brick then a 2x2 then 4x4 or use the flat end of the bit) A 1x2 stud is the smallest I have made. I do not see a 1x1 happining. I used a rotary tool to cut out the bricks, with a diamond disc it cuts and sands(and burns if your not careful)
Image Notes 1. Careful this is the edge of a broken brick 2. Drilled to close to the edge
