Did that not too long ago for clothes line and mailbox post.. I just
used my circular saw and a speed square as a saw guide. This didnt cut
all the way through but finishing with a hand saw was a piece of cake.
Probably could have done the same with my chop saw. BTW my nephew was
with me and I was trying to show him how to use the speed square as a
guide...he has some coordination problems and was having trouble
holding both the saw and the square so I had him clamp the square in
place.
