Deborah, I think you are thinking of a coping saw, which has much finer  
teeth than a hack saw. If you want to go finer still, I have made a few  
wire loop tools of various shapes using one of the thick strings from  
an Electric Bass Guitar. The wrapped wire acts like tiny teeth.  Find  
some bass player and get one or two of his broken strings and you have  
tools for years.
