I'm off to buy an electric saw from Screwfix in a bit (I'm not lazy, my heart failure is making manual sawing really hard going now, and I like to make shit).
I'm leaning towards a jigsaw as it gives me non-linear options, and does wood and metal.
Anyone reckon a circular saw is a better option?

It all depends on what you want to do.
I make bass guitars, mostly with hand tools, but sometimes I want things to go faster, so I bought a jigsaw.
But if you want good straight lines, you need a circular saw.

But if you want good straight lines, you need a circular saw. I went for a jigsaw in the end... I don't need to be dead straight, and it just seems more versatile. You make bass guitars... I have a bass uke I occassionally plug in to the old Fender Rumble and have a play with, badly I might add 😏 |

Use 'rubber' strings... Metal isn't deep enough on a uke. |

I'll remember that, narrower blades for curves, top tip 👍 |

I thought this thread was about the horror franchise - which is still loads of fun to this day  Apparently Chris Rock is rebooting it

On acoustics and ukes they put on piezo pick ups, they are microphonic.

I got a Uke as a gift a couple of Xmasses ago. Can’t play it for shit.
Like George Formby though.
He played a banjo-ukulele.
