The rebuilding is about to begin after the "crash".  I've decided to build
all
my antennas from scratch, so I'm looking at some help with construction.
Since there will be a need to cut LOTS of tubing, I'm looking at a faster
way
than the tube cutter I used last time.  I will also be cutting some 1/4"
and 3/8"
plate/ bar stock that will be used for boom to element clamps.  What is
the best thing to be using to cut this?  I'm looking at a metal-cutting
bandsaw,
and have also been told a number of other things that "might" work.  Anyone
have any experience that could shed some light?
