Chris Head Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Anyone got any practical experience or can recommend some good reading material on the subject? And for those of you with dirty minds, no it's not some sort of pervy party game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 OK Coops, let's do pervy, perhaps combine steam bending with twister? Bending bodies has sooo gotta be more fun than bending wood!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Great link Coops, thanks...gonna steam bend and carve me a bed for my little baby Boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 As you might guess I know nothing about the process myself except in connection with coach building and making cart wheels.Good luck with the bed making. We had a GSD years ago and naively got her one of those posh wicker jobs. Within a week it had turned into a small plate and a lot of bits of wicker work scattered around the house![:-))]. She was a wonderful dog - I'll never forget her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoneye Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 That's weird - I came on here to ask a question about steam bending also - not for myself you understand, for OH.Chris what size wood are you trying to steam bend out of interest ?

Jonzjob Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If it anything to do with Chris it ain't going to be finger thick willow![:-))][:-))]Not too sure where he is at the mo? You out there Chris?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I know - I was imagining him trying to bend a 300 year old Oak I must admit !I'm sure he is around somewhere - probably carving out a tree - he came to cut one of our trees for us and I had to keep an eye on him so that he didn't get the urge to turn it into a swan or something !

Chris Head Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Sorry, been off on a life tangent AND creating what I reckon is gonna be the coolest workshop ever...nightclub included!Hope you're all well?Edit/steambending...I was in the process of felling Oak and Sweet Chestnut (before mishap) for convertion by a mobile sawmill into many different dimensions and will be using green timber for bending (being very much more pliable than seasoned or kd'd timber) which will permit bending of much larger section, am working on an integrated water heating system for the bending, LOTS to discover!

londoneye Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Sounds like you and OH are following the same learning process at moment only he is working on what he refers to as a 'mushroom house' ..... don't ask as it's top secret and he thinks someone may steal his designs - then I'd have to kill them before he killed me ...
