What kind of saw to use?

Buy a cordless drill. Reattach the cut-offs to the table. Buy yourself
some platform shoes and a booster-seat so you can see what's on the
table.

Tom in KY, I know short people when I see 'em.

No saw needed. Simply take the chairs outside and put them on your
driveway. Take two bags of concrete and stack them on the chair seats
and drag them up and down the driveway until they are the desired
height.

Alternately, you can chew the legs off while watching TV. Make sure
you mark your chew line though, so you will know when to stop.

You can't just run out a buy a tool every time you have a new project.

For the rear legs, you use a back saw.

For the front legs, you can't do it with a saw. it requires a fore plane.

Next question?

Here's what I'd do. No special tools needed; it's about the
technique...

You'll need...

a flat surface that can accommodate all legs of the chair(s),
a pencil
clamps
fine tooth hand saw such as a dovetail saw
mirror
workbench
sandpaper

Procedure...
Place the chair on a flat surface. With a sharp pencil kept against
the flat surface trace around each leg. You may need a "riser" for
the pencil unless you just want to lower the chair 1/8". Position
and clamp the chair to the workbench. Use the mirror to monitor your
cut on the opposite side of the leg, else you will be bobbing your
head to see the cut. Chamfer the end of each leg with a file or
sandpaper. Easy.

Then you won't care......

Since these are legs, you'll have to call a surgeon to perform an
amputation.

With a bigger hammer that wouldn't be necessary.

instruments they want smoothed --

More economical to use a buck saw.

You don't have to cut the chair legs. You only have to cut the back.
For that all you'll need is a back saw ;-)

Something about can't see the forest for the trees comes to mind.

You'd have to speak to the Chairman in charge.

I tried using fore plane, but every time I do, the wife won't let me
out of the house for a while.

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like
my grandfather, not screaming in terror,
like his passengers.

A big band sits on chairs when they play - why not use a big band saw?
