I need to crosscut a few railroad ties for landscaping, and maybe make
a couple crude half-lap joints. I've got a light-duty chain saw, an
old circular saw, and some hand saws.

Any advice? Better ways?

Thanks a heap,

A circular saw, hammer, chisel and square. Make a series of cross
cuts 1/2" apart, hammer out the slices, smooth with a large chisel.
