A friend told me there is a special blade for doing this. Can anyone advise

Im a rank amateur with only a jig saw and a planer to my my name. I
dont want to buy any further power tools as Id not have any real use

Score it with a knife first.

If only one side matter put that on the bottom as most jigsaw blades cut
on the up stroke. You can get down cut blades if its difficult to cut
from the other side.
