    Thanks. I just need a surface for a makeshift desk for garage. So a crooked cut wouldn't matter, the sheet is here already and hoped to use it. If I'm going to spend $$ on a jigsaw I might as well go to home depot and get plywood cut instead, or I heard somewhere they have scrap bins. It would be smoother than the T1-11 here for sure even with a sheet over it. If the flipping Yukon is not dead.

    Just clamp down a straight edge with a jigsaw. Never needed to cut a curve on sheeting, but I suppose some do.

    Heck, cut it with a chainsaw iffn that's all you got. We cut out windows when framing with a chainsaw and it does a good job.

    My husband swore off any home improvement and tools before we moved.

    T111 will make a poor desk top; a scrap counter top would work much better or a door etc etc

    Most lumber stores sell pre-cut small pieces of plywood, 2'x2', 2'x4', etc. fairly reasonably. Might be worth a look to see if you can make one of those work without cutting.
