Whats the best way to cut this stuff? I've been reading up and a few people say a jigsaw and others say a circular saw.
Would I need a special metal cutting blade for the circular saw?, I'd like to go down this route as the circular saw would give a straighter cut than my sloppy free hand with the jigsaw  :o

Are they straight cuts?  If so, maybe you could take the piece to a local metal shop.  I doubt they'd charge you much for a few cuts.

I'm looking at having to buy a large sheet and cut it into lots of smaller straight sections with angled edges, I think it would work out too costly for them to cut it all.
Besides I would like to have a go myself, I just dont want to destroy my circular saw in the process  >:D

I've cut metal using a metal blade and a jigsaw. It's slow, hot cutting...  With the cuts your doing, sounds like you can take some practice cuts at it.

If you do use a circular saw, you'll need a metal cutting blade.
