I doubt if this my own idea.. but I thought of it this morning while offering advice on cutting a hole in a cowling. It's pretty much self-explanatory from the photos.. other than securing the blade into the handle; which could be done with glue or a few wraps of filament-tape (which would allow for changing blades of diff. T.P.I.'s) If "gluing-in" the blade.. be sure to clean any rust inhibiting oil off beforehand. The blade is a "coping-saw" type.. and can be easily cut to length using cutting-pliers. You could also grind/file a "point" on the blades end.. for starting a hole in a hard to reach balsa bulkhead. You've probably got the materials already in your workshop to make one. For storage, drill a hole in the other end of the dowel for a screw-eye.. and hang it on your pegboard.

That is quite a neat idea.

It could also be adapted for jigsaw and fretsaw blades with the diameter of the handle adjusted for the size of the blade.

I tend to be lazy, cut off the blade pins, and insert the balde into one of my x-acto handles.

I like it. A little long, flexing could be a problem?

I will be giving it a try. I have lots if those small table "jig" saw blades. Cut one in half, you have two blades. Should cut the spun aluminum cowl on my 28 ok.

I know that the photos don't show the length of the handle. It's about 4" long. Consider the need to cut a perpendicular "notch in a bulkhead/frame piece on a small built-up fuse. You could shorten the dowel handle and blade if needed. Drill cross-holes in the end of the handle for a long wood screw.. and you have a 90 degree handle extension for reaching down-in where fingers can't.

(yes I'm bored... it's rainy.. and did I mention I'm bored.. Rolling Eyes )
