Bending Wood // No Steam, Bent Laminations or Kerf Cuts...This Is Something Different 

Ya sure was…thanks for the look

True, but, if no one ever tried to find new ways of doing things because the old way “works”, we would still be getting places on horseback or horse/carriage, lighting our homes with candles, etc.

I just always feel like things need to be balanced and honestly once you glue it to the table radius it doesn’t matter. However if you only glued one outside later then let it sit in the shop it would curl up like a potato chip because it’s unbalanced.

@@AndyRawls agreed, I'll be interested in seeing how you finish the top/edge joint.

Thanks and no I haven’t but I like the idea…might have to try that.

When I’ve done vacuum forming in the past we used a really thin mesh to help distribute the air flow around the whole “mold/work piece” it stops trapped pockets of air. Plus gotta pull those wrinkles out the bag as the pump draws the bag down on the work piece.

Haha! There’s no doubt about that!!

I think you’re right but the adhesive is stronger than the energy in the wood. It’s very similar to a bent lamination, once the glue sets the wood is stuck.

@@AndyRawls Amazing it can overpower that stored energy. BTW, love your channel

Good point.

I could care less if you watch my videos but before you go let me set the facts straight. I do not have anywhere close to a multi million dollar shop, the fact that you think that immediately discredits any knowledge you may have about the woodworking industry. The value of my machinery and tools is less than $45k. I borrowed $25k from my local bank to buy all my big machines on a five year note. I threw all my RU-vid earning at that loan and paid it off in 2 years. I make around $750 a month on RU-vid, 90% of my business revenue is from making furniture for my clients, been doing it for over 10 years with not one un happy customer. I work really freaking hard for my business, sometimes at the cost of being a good father and husband. I don’t normally respond to these comments but man you really pushed a button. Good job on being a key board warrior now go away👍.
