Sandstone pavers, how do I accurately cut these against the step?
As you can see these are irregularly shaped with no real point of reference to measure from. Are there any methods to accurately cut these against the step with out just guessing?
Cut a piece of cardboard to match the step profile, then cut the stone profile on the other side of the hole. Put it on top of your material and trace it.

The simplest way would be to lay them out as close to the step as possible in th configuration that they best fit together then measure out to the stones point that’s furthest away & cut a small block of 2 x 2 , 2 x 4 , 2 x 6 Or what ever you need about 2 to 3 “ long . Cut a small notch in it to stabilize your pencil so it won’t slip around when in contact with your stones then hold the block to the step using it as a guide & the pencil in place to transfer the curve to the stones you need to cut
