I cut all mine by hand using a hack saw. It takes me 20 minutes and the cut looks bandsaw quality! The hack saw will get you about half way to the center from each end. With the center portions left, I use a straight handled blade holder hack saw to join the cuts. It does not require alot of muscle, just patience. Anyone can do it this way! Well the Pug has not caught on yet...
