• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Progress on my project has slowed as local temperatures have dropped to a balmy 0C. My workshop seems fairly unheatable, being a drafty hangar with a 12A breaker and a list of NO-NOs intended to prevent fire. I rigged up a heated vest to work with a 12V tool battery, but I still get at most 2 hours before I'm hypothermic.

Anybody (masochists excluded) have any lessons learned about staying somewhat comfy in the cold while retaining the use of hands for building an airplane? Perhaps a perfect pair of gloves?
