Works great. Since the saw blade was so far away and a bit difficult to see when manipulating it from the other end of the bamboo pole, I deliberately used overly long bolts when mounting the saw so could easily spot the bolts sticking out to know how the saw was oriented when making the cut.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

I drilled two holes one on each side of the crescent wrench jaws, I used roll pins and pushed them into the holes. Voila an adjustable spanner wrench that can still be used as a crescent wrench.
