Bend wood to make furniture using a bent lamination technique that involves cutting wood into the desired shape, ripping wood strips, applying glue with a roller and clamping wood pieces into place. Find out how long to let bent wood pieces dry in this free video from an award-winning woodworker on basic carpentry.

They make a resaw machine.
That was great!
I find it hard to trust someone who says ” the most safest”. You sound like Kip.
during your glue ups, you should alternate the clamps, putting clamps on both sides, otherwise the clamping pressure tends to bias the pressure to one side, often times resulting in an unsquare/parallel bent lamination
@danno1111 time isnt really the issue with moving the fence, its repeated accuracy. You can use jigs to cut the strips and be just as safe.
very good, thanks it looks easy ¡ I ll try it
Hey guys,
my channel is
kentperduewoodworks
check out my new vid.
kent
good luck
Thanks man you rock lol I started building my house with my own hands in 2006 if I watch all your videos the core shall be finished in mid 2013
@niceguypants Thanks for the info! That is good to know. I’m still beginning in the woodworking realm and saving up to buy a new table saw. I’m amped on these videos. Thanks!
Can you do some more about jointery and its proper uses for different kinds of projects. Finishing has got me confused too.
@r32adt3db Yep, the two forms will have different radii, the difference being equal to the desired thickness of the component, and the sum of the THICKNESS of the ‘rippings’ you’d use.

@98tmorgan Anyone who actually is serious about doing these sort of things. It certainly not right that you put ‘-1′ just because your pocket money can’t cover a few cramps (better than clamps for this situation!)
Thanks for this video exactly what i needed! You did a really good job on explaining things clearly, thank you
oak or ash, but you can do it with pretty much anything. 1/8 inch strips are what i demo in the video but you can rip em thinner if ya need to. A riveing knife will help keep the strips from getting hit by the back of the blade, if you are trying to do a really tight curve you can steam the strips first, bend them and clamp them on your form without glue, let them cool down and dry, then unclamp, glue and reclamp, the steaming will make them much more plyable.
love these videos. PLEASE keep them coming!
Also, for cutting the inside radius of the form, would that be proportionally smaller to the outside radius, keeping the same center point or does the inside radius need to be the exact same as the outside radius?
people who bend wood do.
the best types for bending that are most common are probably white or red oak. and when you cut the strips its called ripping the wood so it it with the grain. be sure your rip guard is present:)
who has like 20 clamps
I need to make 12″ radius wood spars about 2″ x 2″.
1) What type of wood is most suitable for bending? Is ordinary pine wood ok for this? or do you need something better? What would be a good inexpensive wood to use? What would be the BEST wood to use (regardless of price)?
2) Is there something to look out for in terms of grain direction of the wood when you are cutting the strips?
thanks for sharing
you are good man,i could say you are the best.
If all you guys are so damned smart why haven’t you made a video? By the way, you spelling and grammar are terrible and impossible to understand except for your rude remarks. I, for one, appreciated the well done video.
I hope your carpentry skills are better than your spelling skills, Damn
I am just messing around I know talking sh*t is junk because a good woodworking is alway looking forward to learnig techniques. I know their are much better carpenters out their and impossible to learn every thing with regards to carpentry. I respect people that want to learn. I am native to the state of Florida 35 years old with about 15years crew and 5 years homebuilder. I make it a task to learn about my bissiness daily. I heard before Florida construnction is junk /B.S.-high end Naples
