masking tape across the cut line on both sides (to minimise splinters) and a jigsaw with either a special carbon blade (£Â£) or a normal metal cutting blade should do.

be damn careful not to get a splinter! as you may know already the body won't recognise it as a foriegn object and it could get very nasty.
