In Response To: Strip: Cutting Cockpit Recess - Bent Razor saw? (Gordon Snapp)

: I'm almost finished stripping the deck. I'll be cutting the hatch recess
: soon. Nick's book shows him using a bent razor saw (p. 96, Figure 6-46 in
: my copy.) I'm wondering if this is the best method. If so, where do I get
: one of these saws? It looks like a mini-backsaw blade attached to an
: Exacto Knife handle. Is that what it is? Thanks!

That's what I used. You should be able to find one at Home Depot or Woodworker's Warehouse. The one I bought came with three blades - one of the blades looks a lot like a jigsaw blade (but lighter) and I found it more useful in corners than bending the other blades.

I'll use the same saw to cut the hatches, too.
