Great work. Though I now live in Savannah, GA, i was born and raised in Jeffersonville, IN. It's always good to see someone from home on RUclips. I've never tried bent lamination before but always wanted to. After seeing your video I am going to do this. Thank you.
Great work, I've been doing this work for 30 years plus before we were using CNC as I was making my own radius templates I've made quite an amount of Crown moldings, base and bass caps, handrails, And compound radius moldings I take pride in what I do not everybody can do this. Well done sir
Fun to watch. Liked the template. 30 years ago CNC was just starting to get popular. Would have loved to make templates for my curved banisters. Had to clamp them along the stairs very time consuming but they always came out great. The best time I ever had was when someone asked how I got them to bend. Told them I had a heated swimming pool. Wouldn't believe how many people thought I was serious.
For people who do not have that heating tool they can use smoothing iron that we iron clothes with to heat the wood after you wrap the sheet of wood into a wet towel and a sheet of aluminum and thank you for your so much nice videos 🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍
I love working with challenging wood projects and I Really like the way you do thing, I like, Subscribe and looking forward to seeing your ideas. Pray you and your love ones be save on this virus situation and lots of blessing for you all :)
It's cool and I like the nice video quality. Seems like using water and heat is pretty much steam bending. Mmmmm clamps clamps and more clamps. Yeah I love clamps.
I need to build a corner table with a 20" radius (so a 1/4 round of 40"). I don't have a heat blanket; and don't want to buy one for one project. Will wetting, alone, the 1/8" stock and somewhat prebending it work on that larger radius? I need 6 each 1/8" to make 3/4 thick. I need to go 4" wide (finished).
Hello, these arches are what i will be making for my doorways but, i am building a steam box. Still, i would like to know where you bought the glue and heat pad. Thanks!
Hello and thanks for sharing. I'm looking to purchase a C&C machine. Could you tell me which one your using and if you prefer the one your using. I also would like to know where you get you glue at. Thank you again.
I have a Laguna Swift 4x4 Vacuum table. It has been a great machine, but sometimes I would like more horsepower on the spindle. To find a source for the glue, follow this link for my updated video: ruclips.net/video/MGWuP5VNw6o/видео.html
Just found your page. I have an arched window that i need to complete the build out on. This was a great video and i will shoot you an email for glue and heating blanket information. Thanks again.
Hi mate,just found your chanel and I like your work!How thick can you cut those boards of wood so you can bend them properly?Thank you and keep up the good work!
Not really had any problems with that issue. I use fresh Abranet exclusively on the sander which leaves no swirl marks. You may want to read the manual which describes different weighting methods based on pad size. If the weight in the sander is not balanced properly, I could see how it may have an effect as you are describing. Thanks!
I'm guessing a TON of work went into the prep that we didn't see. Thanks for showing the process you use. I'm interested in the laminating glue you use... Just shot you an email.
Ideally you use a large clamping jig like this. Strap wraps dont apply as much pressure. Usually a great deal of cabinetmaking time is spent making jigs like this. If you needed to make structural curves its similar but far more clamps and usually a beefier jig.
YES, you are a thinker! I'm sure a mind like yours can come up with a thousand ways to do this simple arch. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. I've seen this done by simply cutting the inner and outer arh pattern and then tying them together over the laminate with bamboo strips. I've seen it done using mud, sand and even stone forms.
I see you're quick to butt successive boards together, end-to-end to prevent planer snipe. But that's a really nice wide planer and I think you can achieve the same result with boards overlapping side-by-side like footprints.
Follow this link. It will get you to all the places you need to buy the parts for bending. They ship international. www.lmii.com/products/tools-services/bending/heating/heating-blankets Thanks for watching!
Nice video, but I disagree with you saying a vac bag wouldn’t pull it together. I have used vac bags for years. They clamp hundreds of pounds per square inch. Never had anything not bend no matter how tight the radius.
looks like your method of bending works great. about the special glue thou, i wood think that the “special glue manufacturer” wood design the special glue for flying layers to get more time than just 25 minutes. if you’re letting it setup for 12 hours anyway, why not give the people a break and allow more time instead of us trying to rush before the glue skins over. elementary in my opinion.
This is not necessarily true. Wood glue such as tight bond allows too much spring back when you remove it from the form because it is not rigid enough. Glue made for laminating will minimize any spring back so that your piece holds its proper shape. I have used plastic resin glue for custom bending handrails and it works well.
LMAO. This worked but it took a long time. There are easier ways that allow mass production His labor cost if put into the product would make it cost excessive. Nice cnc work though. The hidden costs here also drive up the price on sale.
Not true at all, each glue has it's own unique characteristics. Some are more rigid and crack from wood flexing over time and glue geting brittle over time, while others can flex as if rubber. It just depends on what you need the glue for, a boat for example can flex by up to 12in from a wave and most glues cant handle the stress so they make flexible glue specifically for those parts that flex. Hell they even make a flexible epoxy....... but I agree that regular wood glue can handle most jobs for glueing wood but in some specific cases you need custom materials and alot of thoght and engineering went into development of these products. Some of these glues are so well made that they will outlast the wood and that's saying something considering that some wood work is hundreds of years old.... regular chalking gets old and brittle in as little as 10 years and the good stuff lasts 40-50years(also costs 5 to 7 time more then cheap stuff)... chalking is a great example because it dries out so quickly and gives you a rough idea what happens to all materials as they get oxygenated and bombarded with heat/cold and UV light eating away at the "half life" of the molecules in the glue/materials
Mike Keegan More often than not, the wood fiber breaks before the glue joint does, unless there’s something weird going on. This is with any wood glue I’ve ever used.
Just cut it out of a whole piece of wood. It saves time, and engineering, and the end product is of much higher quality. In the end, after factoring in time and engineering, it will cost about the same but be much better quality and done far quicker. Why complicate it?
What’s the whole point of having a RUclips channel and you don’t want to share your skills???? Why do we have to email you for the name of the glue?????

Thanks for a great tutorial on how to bend wood properly.
Neat work !
Thanks for posting.
Outstanding job. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome,Thank yous for sharing... "nice job appreciate your craftsmanship"
Very good tutorial, well explained and good results 10 of 10
Nice work look forward to watching more videos
Really great work ,thank you for sharing your experience 👍
Nothing more rustic and old timey than programming your robot to make you a specialized tool.
You've mentioned a specialty glue for this job, can you explain what's the difference between this and other types of glues?
Do you need to put all the lamination layers on at the same time, or could you do a few then wait and finish if you had to?
Excellent job
Great uphold mate....thank you !

At a quick glance all those clamps around 9:30 in look like the Iron Throne, lol
That answered a lot of questions I was thinking about
muy inteligente, felicitaciones por inspirar a muchos woodworkers
gracias
Hello, these arches are what i will be making for my doorways but, i am building a steam box. Still, i would like to know where you bought the glue and heat pad. Thanks!
Nice dude 🔨
Where did you purchase the heating blanket and controller ? Is the metal 24 ga sheet metal ?
Two questions, what is the glue your using and who makes that bending machine. Thanx.
Hello and thanks for sharing. I'm looking to purchase a C&C machine. Could you tell me which one your using and if you prefer the one your using. I also would like to know where you get you glue at. Thank you again.

Thanks for sharing... I'm amazed you could bend 1/8 like that... what temp are you shooting for?
HI I am an euroian woodworker, what is the name and the type of the heating blanket? What is the temperature you heat the wood?
Just found your page. I have an arched window that i need to complete the build out on. This was a great video and i will shoot you an email for glue and heating blanket information. Thanks again.
Hi mate,just found your chanel and I like your work!How thick can you cut those boards of wood so you can bend them properly?Thank you and keep up the good work!
Great job..
what grit are you using on the timesaver?
انت معلم ممتاز
You are exland teacher ser
Any reason you don't use other species in the middle and just use cherry for top and bottom? Looks great though thanks for tips.
is that cheaper and easier than steam bent.
i think there is something magical about a bent piece of solid timber
Special Glue... if so, what is its coefficient of friction?
Sağol Usta 🙌
you only put glue on one side ?
Awesome!🎉
Is it the same principle for a full circle
Good job friend..
Also you can put a thermal source for short time
Good job.. u know i can build my own acoustic guitar but my problem was the side bending any suggestions?
Impressive 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing
This is simply amazing
So what's the glue?
What is thickness of this plank
How you like your mirka sander? I have some problems with lots of pig tails after sanding ,,, have you had that happening?
Not really had any problems with that issue. I use fresh Abranet exclusively on the sander which leaves no swirl marks. You may want to read the manual which describes different weighting methods based on pad size. If the weight in the sander is not balanced properly, I could see how it may have an effect as you are describing. Thanks!
Hi bro...
It's a very good video.But I have a question, Can we band hard wood with that method?Let say the hard wood is ebony.
Can you bend bamboo the same way?
I'm guessing a TON of work went into the prep that we didn't see. Thanks for showing the process you use. I'm interested in the laminating glue you use... Just shot you an email.
Thank you
Instead of all the clamps, could you use wide strap and ratchet?
Ideally you use a large clamping jig like this. Strap wraps dont apply as much pressure. Usually a great deal of cabinetmaking time is spent making jigs like this. If you needed to make structural curves its similar but far more clamps and usually a beefier jig.

wow wall table would be in the making too

That is a very bad beard and I think no one has told him yet. Super awesome bending
Thanks for sharing.
What machine is that used in 12:33
Wow, your band Saw is really dialed in. There is no way I can make that cut. I have an 18 inch Jet.
Just curious, why not? 18" sounds like a good machine.
Great video. Is it too late to ask you one question? Where can I bye the heater and a suitable thermometer. We do not find these things in Denmark.

Did you use cascamite?
Very interesting, I'm from Evansville, went to ISU. Now settled down near Houston, Tx. Are ya near Evansville?
Larry Kelly love it!
Hey where at in Southern Indiana are you located?! I live in vigo co.
why do l have to email you about the glue ? why not tell me the name of the glue in the video ?
very nice thanks
Lincoln called and wants his beard back
Shaddup. Go back to reddit.
as I see you used tangens, is there a difference in quality of bent detail? I mean that our carpenters say that one should use only radial.
Awesome dude, awesome.
nice job , but you should make or buy a vacuum press it would be much beter and easyer )
You read my mind. At the time this video was made, this was all I could afford. I am in the process of building a vacuum press right now. Good call!
Serat yang sangat cantikk
Amazing skills 😮
Nice video, but I disagree with you saying a vac bag wouldn’t pull it together. I have used vac bags for years. They clamp hundreds of pounds per square inch. Never had anything not bend no matter how tight the radius.
What is the glue yo are using?
Wish I could handle my wood like that
“How did the wood get so hard”
Какой клей ?
Well
NO CNC MACHINE, so i''d have to make 3 halfmoon forms old fashioned way, band saw and hole saw.
очень не плохо 👍👍👍
Why not just mention the glue
Mark Wilson that’s what I said!!
looks like your method of bending works great.

Im just not in to the fancy stuff
Or you can go get wacky wood plywood
Just cut it out of a whole piece of wood. It saves time, and engineering, and the end product is of much higher quality. In the end, after factoring in time and engineering, it will cost about the same but be much better quality and done far quicker. Why complicate it?

Splendidly to see Woodglut have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.

What’s the whole point of having a RUclips channel and you don’t want to share your skills???? Why do we have to email you for the name of the glue?????
At least no crack again
