Thanks! I truly appreciate your earnest to get back to me, and that we could establish a dialog. You are obviously well experienced in this field. I've always appreciated individuals with the hands on experience, and knowledge. Wonderful.

I was asked to repair a rocking chair that needs a couple of seat slats. A video like this one was harder to find than I would have thought. I am only 3 1/2 minutes in and I have the answer I need, (maybe). Thank you for sharing your knowledge of woodworking and thank you, as well, for the A rated production of the tutorial.

Thanks for demonstrating these three ways to bend wood.

Thanks for the video. Very informative and well produced. You mentioned the use of bendy ply, and I know it works well for some applications. However, in Australia where I live, the sheets only come in 2440 x 1220mm and is often way too large for some projects. Thanks for showing the three methods.

Great video

Excellent techniques sir

Thanks for the instructions and insight. It is very helpful. Take care.

Beautiful work!!! thanks you so much for sharing!!!

Hello my friend, This is an indicator of high-level skills. Of course, it takes time to reach this level. Their creativity can be a reference and example for art lovers. Congratulations. See you.

Very informative vid, you answered many questions re. bending wood. Thank you. From Missouri

underrated channel thank you for your video

Good video. Thanks for sharing the prps and cons

Lovely work

Thank you. Learned a lot⚘

My man! This is legendary! I’ve been stuck trying to solve a curve problem and you’ve saved me much trial and error. Thank you!!

Thanks, great insights

Thanks so much for your response. I tried yesterday, a water soak solution with Fabric Softener. The strips are 20" long 3" wide, and 1/8" thick. I used 2 strips of Hickory on the inside of the bend, and 1 strip of White Oak on the outside of the bend. Everything bent perfectly into place. However, as this is my first time, I'm sure I made mistakes prepping. For one thing when I removed the 3 strips from my jig this morning there was still moisture on the inside of the Strips. 2. I used YELLOW Glue! another mistake. These 3 strips are now on the jig with the Yellow glue. I'll check it out tomorrow. 3. There was still some visible moisture seen on the surface of the strips when I applied the Yellow Glue. I wasn't happy with this first try! Now that I have your valued advice and suggestions. I'll start again, and this time I'll cut 3 stirps using all White Oak. I cannot find any green wood in any type. I like the White oak however. What do you think about my use of the cold water solution? I have a steam box made, and it heats up to 212 Degrees, and I use 2-40 minute cycles. I think I will prefer to use the strips of 1/8" thickness rather than trying to bend a solid piece of 3/8" thick White Oak. The minimum with width for these stirrups is 3". I do use a wench that has a 3" wide belt, and its mounted to the table top just behind the jig. It does a wonderful job of pulling the wood around the jig. In fact coming out of the cold water solution I could bend it around by hand. However, I use the wench to hold the wood in place against the jig, then place dowel metal rods against the outside of the wood. This first try, is only a practice to see what I need to do, as I have no one with me to assist. Trial and error. Please, any advice you may wish to assist me with is greatly appreciated. As I said I am a disabled veteran, and this is a confidence builder. I hope I/ve explained all this in a reasonable manner.

Clear and infomative video. The downside of lamination that you mention, cleaning up the glue can simply be avoided by not spilling it and cleaning it before it dries, at least in my experience that almost solves the problem. Important, becauese sanding glue is a headache.

Thank you for this so useful trick!!! :)))

Bro thats sick

Awesome

nice video homie

Hi Jesse, I just found your channel because I’m trying to kerf Bend with plywood in an archway for my daughter. I’m going to install a door and then have the transom with the plexiglass above It’s an interior build. I also have a channel that I show how to do construction work but I’ve never done this kerf bending before

Beautiful and super informative! I loved how you compared these 3 different techniques. One small piece of advice: get a radio lav mic.

I fucked up a meserment in my 8th grade woods shop, I learn more then I needed to. But it workee

Thanks to all family members ❣️❣️❣️❣️

P.S. Where do you suggest I look for the best air-dried White Oak? All that Home Dep carries is KD. I sure don't want that!

I'm thinking of making a cellphone case. I might have to go with both limination and steaming for those small and tight bends. Thanks.

What a great and amazing video, very explanatory and you not only show one but three types. I can already see different uses of each method, as I am studying interior design so this gives me many ideas. I have designed a closed curved chair and wanted to know if it’s possible to do so with the cold bent lamination method. This method applies to larger pieces of wood right? The female and male piece for the jig means that the final result will come in two parts? Thanks again for the great video on to the next one.

Thank you! I can now make my guitar stand! Awesome equipment btw! I also want to ask about your soundtrack, would you throw it up in the comments, please? Thanks again

Have you ever heard of pressurized ammonia to bend? It melts the cellulose in the wood. You can bend it anyway you want , then when it dries it is like the wood is made like that no stresses in the grain

Thanks for your explanation man🙂👍 I was thinking that maybe the kerf bend are suitable to make frames to round shaped windows?

That bit you binned at the start would have done! 🤣

👍👍👍muy buen trabajo ,gracias por ayudar ,gracias 👍👍👸👸aprendí algo nuevo thanks

That’s an easy subscribe

I'm not sure if you did this on purpose.. you probably did, but man, those transitions where you spun the camera around while placing it for the next shot was pro. I really thought that was cool. Nice job man.

Thank you, this was very helpful! I have a question about lamination with wooden strips and glue: I need two parts that are exactly the same. I want to laminate one piece and cut it in half (length wise). After letting the wooden strips with glue sit long enough, will this work? I never saw anyone do this before. Thank you in advance

Hi mate,just found your chanel and i love your work!Can you tell me please how thick can you cut that wood so you can bend it properly?Thank you and keep up the good work!

Well, guess I'm going to start planning out a quick headphone holder for work now

Duuuude. Thats how its done. thx for this instructional. Sidenote: Mind sharing what that track is you got going in the beginning? crazy good tune.

Amazing and clear video! Question: why did you cut the center circle in the form in the cold bent lamination?

I really watching your methods. I am wanting to build my own saddle stirrups. I have a center jig made and have the dowel pins that fit into holes around the jig. However, I've tried using white and red oak by steaming, and water soaking. Each time I begin the bend from the top of the jig, the wood gives out around the first bend at the foot, or bottom of the stirrup. I happen to be using KD (kiln dried) wood. I am even cutting these into 1/8" stirps. However, the always give out? Am I making a mistake using KD wood? If so, where would I get wood that is not KD? I am a disabled veteran, so I am doing this as a confidence builder. Are you able to offer any suggestions. I steamed these strips (1/8") for 40 minutes plus at times over 212 degrees. I would much rather be able to do this COLD! Shape them using the yellow wood glue. The width of these strips are 3".

Such an infomative and well produced video but sadly no comments. I really enjoyed watching this and the music choice is great. I always wanted to know to bend wood and make it nice and round. My dad tried steam bending and failed hard. The wood became to wet and broke. Since then I wanted to see it done right.

Hi, for a bigger piece of 18 mm thick birch plywood that is approximately 600 mm long and 514 wide,it needs to bent to a radius of 500.Do you suggest using thin pieces of ply and laminating or steaming the 18 mm whole piece?The use will be :” a flared port in a subwoofer loudspeaker”.What method do you recommend?

Great video, thanks, but I wish I could find something how can I joint 2 bent pieces on the ends, like a butt joint end-end, but how a strong joint possible?

Cool. Now do one more and write out the DUNE logo from the new movie.

Hi I am currently experimenting on how to do steam bending for my school project. I just wanted to ask what type of wood you are using? What thickness? And how long did you have to steam it for? Thank you!

Great video, would you have a preferred method of bending for wet / sea / boat environments at all. IE would the steam bend "Un-bend" if in wet conditions, or would protecting it in the normal way with Epoxy and/or varnish sort that out? Also is there a preferred methid for larger pieces of wood or no difference? Many thanks

I would say that the downside of lamination can be visual and the work you have to put in once working with thicker wood.

Question for you what do you clean down the road every time after cutting 2:08

Which would you say is the best method for placing a 90° bend in a .75 inch thick, 12 inch wide piece? It is for a continuous shelf with fourteen overall bends (which will be jointed in to the horizontal and vertical planes)?

Thanks for the education! Subscribed! Love the track! What is it?

Make us a nice Windsor chair..

I wanted to make a giant curved headboard and staple some woven material to it but I don't think a) I can find anything round enough and large for what I want to do and idk if I want to buy wood just to cut it just to curve it b) wood thin and cheap enough for me to even do this. I have a steamer already but idk if it would work for that anyway. Back to the drawing board. I will send this to my brother though since he may be interested

I want to try steam bending to make a Lyre, is there any issue when steam bending circular cut wood? As opposed to rectangular?

Does this work for larger wooden rods ? If that makes sense ?

jesse jesse we have to bend some woods jesse im sorry

What type of wood are you doing this with?

What is first tool attachment? Bentsaw attachment?

I have a question. What kind of wood do you use. Thank you for your trouble. 👍

Im trying to make an ancient egyptian head rest. The egyptians used them to sleep on, they slept on the floor with their head elevated to prevent sleep paralysis.

Hi god bless

Is it possible to bend 3mm plywood at 90 degrees with papr?

Uh, for how long did you steam the wood?

Does that apply to real wood

Great if you have a 100+++ in tools

thanks but why did the music have to go so hard??? it was 🔥

Not with machine please

Not a single word of explation about the steaming. How could u not realize that you blatantly missed the most important part?

Great video
