Having a pre-pass with a smaller bit would reduce chances of breakage for this. Essentially letting it just finish the V cut rather than making it. So prolly a 2 mm bit with a 2 cm depth pass (guesstimating by eye). You don't really need to dump all that water on it. Stea... borrow a clothes iron, max it out and set it on steam. Through a piece of thin fabric (pillow case, perfect for this) steam the visible face of the wood. The steam will make the bend super easy. You can even use this technique to bend thin wood without any slits. I think the thickest i've tried using a regular Bosch clothes iron was 4 mm, beautiful, no creak or fiber split, worked great. The best part about using steam and therefore steam, you're not messing too much with the wood by adding water. Soaking the wood in excess water will activate its pores and that can have a bad effect later, depending on your luck. It's not uncommon to see a waterlogged piece of wood, like for example when they're boil bent, split or have the raised fibers that you have to sand again.
Did you calculate the angle of the kerf cutting bit, factoring in the thickness of the wood and the inside and outside radius and determine the number of kerfs or did it just work out?
Take a depth measurement to see where the widest part of the bit with be, then measure the bit width there. You can then estimate how much it will close. Obviously the thicker the piece, the more cuts that will be required.
I'd like to see if you could use this method to create a more continuous curve without the ridges bulging through the veneer. I love this idea though and your shelf looks excellent ~maybe if you left more meat in the root of those cuts you could sand the peaks on the other side with fear of sanding through. Be tougher to bend for sure but it looks like you had little trouble bending your 1mm or so
It looks amazing. Wonder how long it before it snaps though. 1mm is not a whole lot to keep it together. Don't know how much that wood works, or how that glue stands the test of time, but it just seems that way.
I think the veneer is merely assisting the glue up in this case. If I were to make a guess, the curved surface would be as strong as any other wood joint.
Naaaah. Good content that im subbed to and no new recommendations from youtube?! Gona let your videos autoplay for a while hopefully we can bump your numbers up.
I thank the space between every two successive cuts is 1.6 cm , not 1.6 mm as you saying !!! Correct it in the comments because this will ruin the work of anyone will try it !!!!

This shelf is gorgeous! What an awesome design 💛
I’m in LOVE with the result!!!!!! I could use this to make a chunky coffee table surface. This is soooo amazing!!!
OMG!!! That is stunning 🤩 I need one of those drill bits?!?! I’m only a beginner to woodworking as a hobby and so inspired by your skills

As a DIYer, an engineer, I am very very impressed. Lots of wild things are possible. A. Speaker. A cabinet above the toilet. A snake shelf. ❤❤❤
I just had a vision of turning that into a sound bar for my TV. Thanks for the inspiration
This was my idea as well. A low shelf to set my soundbar on below my wall mounted TV.
It's very satisfying to see everything coming together so cleanly. No gaps in the bends neither 👍
There's so many applications for this. Thank you for the video. You did amazingly!
That's beautiful. Wow. Stunning. I appreciate your patience!! I need more 😉
Beautiful. Well done. I'd love to do that, but larger.
Did you calculate the angle of the kerf cutting bit, factoring in the thickness of the wood and the inside and outside radius and determine the number of kerfs or did it just work out?
Beautiful result, pleasantly filmed. Thanks for the satisfying watch.
Mate, that’s beautiful. My wife has asked me to make this for our bathroom that I’m decorating, Thanks
Absolutely beautiful, simple, stylish! and amazed how easy it was to do!
That was amazing and seemed a lot more simple than I imagined!
Can you explain a bit how do you calculate number of those cuts for bending and is it spiral bit necessary for bending? Thanks!
Very unique and beautiful.
Amazing job!
Excellent job! If you wanted to make a larger radius curve would you just widen your router cuts?
Great job dude!What kind of wood would be ok for this kind of things?
I really love it thank u sooooooooooo much assume
Excelente 👍🏻
Beautiful
That's beautiful & amazing looking thing
Bro, that is AWESOME. Top design.
Thank you for sharing!!! What type of wood did you use? Will any type of wood work? I look forward to reading from you.
Brilliant!
Amazing, dude! Beautiful work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Can you do this with oak wood? Looks awesome
Great video tutorial, one question how do you work out the bend radius?
Take a depth measurement to see where the widest part of the bit with be, then measure the bit width there. You can then estimate how much it will close. Obviously the thicker the piece, the more cuts that will be required.
This is amazing! I'd love to make one.
Amazing and great idea! It is a pleasure to see how clean you are working. Looks like not even a single extra movement :) Nice shelf!
Hi, can you clarify the spacing please BTW great job!
Good job bro
So satisfying. What wood did you use to make the bend?
Amazing ! Congratulations !
That is a fantastic looking shelf!
Do you have a link for the bit?

Yeah, I imagine you could use a hair dryer and it would bend at thicker than 1mm.
It looks amazing. Wonder how long it before it snaps though. 1mm is not a whole lot to keep it together. Don't know how much that wood works, or how that glue stands the test of time, but it just seems that way.

thats awesome as! good work!
great job
True well done!
Donde puedo conseguir esa broca ?aqui en mexico
What method was used to fashion to wall???
Imitation is the highest form of flattery
I seen it in your channel, you are the first to use this technique, you have my respect 👍
Love this idea!!
Очень круто!
What is the name of the pointed router bit like the one you used to make the groove?
How did he get it to close perfectly at the ends?
Amazing idea.... Please where can i buy the bit... Any online store link
Muito bom, parabéns . Qual a fresa que você usou?
Someone questioned before but do you have a link for this bit?
Did you ever find a matching bit?
What are the dimensions of this cutter? I need to make it with 25 mm thick wood... thanks

Wow very nice job
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍✔️✔️✔️😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
Tamar at 3x3 Custom needs to see this.
Where could you find this bit? Any suggestions?
Where did you get the router bit from please?
ю вери гуд мастер ,👍😁
Good
you should put an amazon afiliate link to that router bit (and router? may as well)
What's the total length of the board you used?
What’s the total length of the board?
Отлично!
Link to the router bit is not accessible. Kindly update, please
What's the total measurement of your board?
How to calculate the total size of the plant and shelf. How to decide how many cuts we will need 🤨
Very beautiful but structurally pretty weak. Can you test how much load it can hold on the flat top ?
Tight joints glued properly are not weak this is a smalls shelf designed for nick knacks is definitely fine for the purpose
I'll be the latest to ask for a link to the bit, please!
I think that must be a 6 degree bit (12 degree for each pass) not 8 to get a 180 degree bend with 15 cuts. Yeah?
It's 16 cuts.
Друже, а под другой радиус другую фрезу?
Naaaah. Good content that im subbed to and no new recommendations from youtube?! Gona let your videos autoplay for a while hopefully we can bump your numbers up.
I think heat might have been better than water
👍
😳💕
pakai kayu apa pak?
I just got a cat and want to do this for cat shelves bc it looks very nice and unique. I hate most of the cat furniture on the market.
This is mdf?
You must mean 1,66cm, not mm?
I thank the space between every two successive cuts is 1.6 cm , not 1.6 mm as you saying !!!
Correct it in the comments because this will ruin the work of anyone will try it !!!!
Skill saw will do the same ...
You literally copied this video from one of my buddies JarMade.
Your a fake!
Get your own content!
Great job! But I’ve better added some fixtures besides the glue in the seam, so it’s more solid.
What is that thing called you used for cutting?
What is the total length of board?
👍
