The old (not old enough to be good I suspect)
hand saw I was given is 1. dull and 2. unsuitable
for the stuff I'm cutting.

I've seen mention of some Stanley JetCut saw. Will
one of these live through cutting up to 35 - 40
feet total?

Power tools are out for vs. reasons. Also it felt
good doing it, even with the old dull saw.

Course if you are like most people you will then spend more time
browsing and imagining what you _could_ do with the right tools than
actually doing anything...

I got the following -- a Ryoba Saw -- which is a very nice fine cut saw.
Used it for hardwood, softwood, flush cutting etc. It is a _pull_ saw --
which allows good control with very little power.
