: Makita makes a handle that holds saber saw blades.I used one of these with a
: metal cutting blade for the more curved areas of the opening and switched
: to a wood blade for more speed in the straighter parts of the
: opening.Quick,accurate,and thin kerf.

hey good idea.

i took a 5in pc of 1/2 in diameter dowel, slotted it for 3/4inch and CA'd in a thin fine toothed jigsaw blade for carving halloween pumpkins faces(nice sharp curves possible). I guess that's a similar idea and maybe the same saw'll work here too!
