Podcast #16: Bending Wood: 2 Methods to Creating Curves

The challenge is this — build an elegant accent table with curved stretchers. Would you use bent laminations to make the stretchers? Or is steam bending the answer? Chris Fitch will demonstrate both during this week’s Woodsmith Seminar Podcast.

During the seminar, Chris talks about a couple of projects that feature curved pieces made from bent laminations. Both of the projects were taken from recent issues of Woodsmith magazine. If you’d like to subscribe to Woodsmith, or simply purchase plans for these projects, click here: Woodsmith Podcast Store. You’ll also find a link to the seminar guide provided during the seminar and a great article on choosing the right glue for your projects.

Bruce,

As a matter of fact, next week’s seminar podcast is about building frame & panel doors. I didn’t demonstrate how to build arched-top doors, but I did include a great article from Workbench magazine in the seminar guide. The guide should be available for sale sometime next week after the podcast is posted. Or you could go to your local library and look for a copy of the August 2004 issue of Workbench.

Oh man, just what I’ve been looking for. So much killer info. The video was well thought out and and well played out.Thank You. Some things about steam bending,you need to steam wood about 1 hr. for 1 inch of wood. thats what thy say. And, you want to make sure you don’t run out of water. I’ve been wanting to steam bendwood to make canes and I’m so glad I found I found your web site. Thanks again, Steve
