That gets the award for "most dangerous-sounding method which I've
considered attempting myself" - and possibly "most likely to result in
loss of blood". :)

I have a benchtop bandsaw (woodcutting) which I got for free from a
relative, but I don't use it.  Next time you find yourself passing
through central IL, contact me.  You can have it.  It looks good
sitting in a corner of my garage, but I'd much rather see it
preventing you from clamping an upside-down running jigsaw in a vice
again. :)

I won't mention how I built a "table saw" out of a circular saw, a 4' x
4' sheet of plywood, two sawhorses, and some zip ties.  That'd take
most of my safety inspector credibility away...
