I had not heard of a pullsaw but have read up on them and they sound
worth looking into. The idea of a narrower cut due to narrower blade
makes a lot of sense.

I will keep my eyes open for one in the shops.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have any tips on the best ways to cut marine ply (6, 9 and
12mm)? In particular I want to cut curved 8' boards for a dinghy. So I
guessing that a band saw is a good bet but I don't have one. Are there any
other methods that can produce good results?

Thanks
