Rent a diamond hole saw and a big drill to power it at your local tool
rental place. It will be well worth the $20. You'll probably need an
extension as well, to get all the way through.

Alternative is to drill a ring of 1/4 inch or so holes with a hammer
drill and a long masonry bit and then chisel out the waste. It will
take a lot longer and will give you a rough sided hole, but will get
the job done.

It's ok, take your time.
Now I do have a 10 GA Turkey gun, I wonder if that would get it started

I'll have option A there, for $20
Yeah I agree, man, when you got the right tools, it makes you feel smart

Draw the circle on the brick with a Sharpie. Then drill holes with a
small masonry bit (3/16", 1/4", whatever) all the way around the line.
Knock the piece free.

the Jack refers to the weight of the hammer Single Jack and Double Jack
Can't remember what weight the double Jack kicks in Might be LBS. and up

Single Jack Hammer: A single jack (3- to 4-pound head with short
handle) hammer can be used with a star drill to punch holes in rock.
The single jack can also be used to drive bridge spikes, and other uses
that are too demanding for a regular claw-hammer, but do not require
the heavy duty blows of a sledge.

I beleive a single jack was called that because it was used with a
single hand, a double jack required two hands...........why they're
called "jacks" I don't know

Dependin on how uniform & cleanly drilled the hole needs to be........

you could rent a Bosch or Hilti rotary hammer and a 3" core bit

cheers
