Sadly, the only way you can have a real saw is to suffer.
I wish it was easier.

  Even if someone hand files a saw for you, its a saw, it needs to be 
filed again soon.
   Then what?
Now you are mailing back and forth at ruinous expense and wasting 
endless time,
  and handling gorillas trounce on your precious cargo anyway.

  Sever a 2X4 with 4 strokes, using a panel saw indoors.
  You should be able to do it in three with a full sized saw and a 
sawhorse outside.
or
Make 6 or 8" distance down a 1X with a ripsaw.  6 to 8 inches per stroke.

  Run right out and buy that for money.

If you want to cut like that, and you want someone else to set it up for 
you, for money?
   You better bring a lot of money.

No, if you want a "lively saw" you have to take the whole saw, with all 
its annoying demands.
  I wish it was easier. But I sure can't figure a way around it.

My favorite tip is to get both a straight and a pistol grip saw set. At 
least you now have 2 different wrist positions to switch back and forth.
       yours Scott
