I got the job done. And you and Airhead are right about temperature. It’s a learning process. I have reciprocating saw but not the blade. The hacksaw blade would have worked but taken ages and I don’t have the frame which allows the blade to poke out - it’s on a list of things I should have.

This pic shows what I could have used.

I’ve wrapped a blade in gaffer in the past to make a shank saw.

I have a pistol grip Stanley handle a bit like this one, I almost never need it, but when I do...

Sometimes it’s best to mount the blade backwards and cut on the pull stroke (like a Japanese saw) to stop the blade folding up.

Yup. That was the secondary plan. I’ve done that before. There is something in my head which makes me think I have a hacksaw which the blade can be mounted outside the frame - must have a look tomorrow.
Thanks.
