I've been told to make this old bit of wood into a shelf. Pictured would be the underside, the other side is neater. It would need to be straight cut to appx red rectangle as pictured.
I have a available a universal saw 8tpi, a very old cheap b&q jigsaw, and a bow saw.
I don't think I can do a reasonable job of it with the available tools.
I'm told if it's not done by me the teller will do it themselves with a handsaw.
Shall I let them proceed, or is there anything I can do to save the situation?
Do you have a couple of clamps and a long enough straight edge (long spirit level/piece of timber/metre rule etc) to make a guide for one of the sawing implements? With a guide and maybe a new blade for the jigsaw it could be done pretty neatly.
