You know, that is exactly what I wanted at the time. I know that
experimental aircraft builders use this technique to shape the foam cores
they use on their planes, but I didn't look for one assuming that it was
something I would probably have to make, instead of buy. And for the job I
needed done, I figured that with a little care I could get fairly decent
results with the tools I had. I believe I used a hand saw. I did chew the
foam up a bit, but it is all hidden in the long run.
