• 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.

Anyone have a favorite, small handsaw for cutting cap strip? I'd like to find something that works well on cap strip, from 1/4" square up to 1" square. I've got miles of cap strip to cut for various projects, and I'd like to find a saw that I can use in the home office, with and without a mini miter box.
I like the Japanese pull saws, but most have less than 20 tpi. There are a couple of razor type saws that are up to 52 tpi available too. Any strong reasons to go one direction or the other? I'm not above getting one of each and simply trying to see what works the best. Everything being cut is spruce and I've got a Lion style trimmer to do the final fitting.
