Handiness (chop saw + operation) for a DIY project?

[rxs356]

Hello, I had posted this in the 'Items Wanted' section but someone suggested I post here for a wider audience.

I have a (somewhat lofty for me) goal to DIY some pine furniture and want to alter the legs (shortening overall and ideally cutting to an angle but that's more of a 'nice to have'). Any chance anyone is willing to offer some handiness and use of a chop saw? I wouldn't trust myself to use one but am happy to discuss compensation...the single quote I received was the same as the price of the furniture so doesn't really seem worth it!

Also: I've inquired at B&Q and Travis Perkins and neither can offer help, nor did they really have any suggestions of where to go.

thanks in advance for any other suggestions!

Also worth looking on YouTube for furniture hacks, there's loads of clever advice.
