Yes, from someone who is NOT a woodworker or a purist in any way, I can tell you that cutting BY HAND is the way to go.

The softwood ("SPF") boards are so easy to work with.  I had to pay $7 for chisels at Harbor Freight, $6 for sandpaper, and about $12 for a saw set.  The belt sander was borrowed.  Sure, I wish I had a band saw (anyone reading this in the Omaha, NE Area??) but like I said - this wood is so soft that a hand held pull saw just cuts right through it.
