    Hi guys, I'm re-scrapping my tank, but i need to cut up a very big piece of my drift wood, i give up with the saw, i tried hammering screw drivers into it but i just won't separate, i need a power tool to cut it up (can lend me if you have one?), or any other methods, i don't have much other tools at home, any ideas brothers?

    Re: Tools for Cutting Drift Wood

    are you using a saw meant for sawing wood or a saw meant for sawing metal? a wood saw has teeth that are much bigger and has a wider pitch.

    if you want to separate it, try using a chisel. you may need more than one. and you have to split it along the grain and not across the grain.

    Yes, thanks for the suggestions, found out that the blades of my hand saw are kind of blunt, filed the blades and cut like hot knife through butter!
