For my last layout I cut all the benchwork wood with muscle-powered saws because it made less sawdust in the basement. This was in the 1980's and it wasn't a 4'X8' either (approx. 27' X 34'). So having only hand tools is not an excuse. I was thinner then, I wonder why. I guess because I use power saws now, but I don't cut wood in the train room (basement).
