Am about to embark on a garden project of putting in some new softwood sleepers (100 x 200 x 2400) to make an L-shaped raised bed area and am wondering what would be the best option for doing the cuts?
In total am looking at approximately a dozen cuts and want them to be as good as can be, as these will be facing outwards in places.
Do not want to go down the chainsaw route as am rather attached to my legs and other extremities so can see three options
1 - Handsaw it with the effort involved and also buying a few saws too so as the ensure am using a nice sharp one
2 - Circular saw with a flip of the sleeper as can’t seem to find one that does 100mm deep
3 - Reciprocating saw with suitable wood blades
Cons of 1 are the effort involved and also making sure the cut is true all the way through, but -positive is it is the cheapest option. Am sort of leaning to the power tool option being a lazy hit and also not that hot with cutting straight. Just have to decide on circular or reciprocating, which is why I have come to ask the great knowledge and advice source that is OcUK.
Given the choice, what option would you go for and why?
