2" and a jigsaw aren't a good combination IMLE.


That was what I thought.

You've been very secretive about what saws or other cutting kit you do have.


Simply because, despite plenty of history of DIY, I'm not in the
habit of machining significant bits of wood, other than to get
them flat, smooth or square.

Right now, in terms of cutting a curve, a coping saw is about the
only tool that could do it, but I see that as impractical for
repetitive shapes in 50 mm softwood.

I have no jigsaw, router or bandsaw. The circular saw is
effectively irrelevant. I have no drum sander.

The pillar drill (which I have) was my thought in connection with
a suitable holesaw (which I don't have), but was seeking advice
from anyone who may have already tried it.
