Here is a picture of my current (lousy) attempt at uniform spacers

The board in that picture, placed with the tall side up (instead of
flat as it is in that picture), is still too thick.

Q: What do YOU use to space flagstone while you're cutting the last
piece and when you start mortaring them down?

Note: It matters greatly even a little bit because the errors add up
over the 20 or so pieces and you're cutting the last (middle) piece
to fit. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...mg/7478407.jpg

You can get dowel rods, round or square, in almost any width from 1/16th to
1 inch or more at the box store. I used 4 of 3/8ths-inch to lay ceramic
tile. They worked out FAR better than the little foam crosses.
