Kerf Bending Plywood - DIY Ottoman Table Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2017
- My in-laws got a new couch and it came with a bunch of ottomans (ottomen?) which meant no room for a coffee table. Not ideal, especially for a family who plays a lot of board games. I decided to make a removable cover that would convert them into usable table space. An additional insert makes the two into another a contiguous flat surface.
The results are fantastic. The hidden splines give it plenty of strength along with the wood glue. They are removable in case you want to use the ottoman and can even stack 90° to one another if you want a stand-alone table.
That said, I'd recommend going the extra mile and doing bent lamination with thin plywood instead. Cutting so many kerfs in such a long piece of plywood was really high pressure; the blade set too high and it cuts through, the blade set too low and there's little chance you're going to run it through EXACTLY the same path to hog out just a tad bit more material. One small slip and that whole piece is ruined. Bent lamination isn't easy, and arguably you need more to accomplish it, but it's a little bit more forgiving and it'll be much more strong than this.

No stupid music, no blah blah.Just excellence~! Great work :)
stupid music is the worst. I'm sick of the ukulele
The author does like to from scratch, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
WHEN HE BENDS THAT WOOD I SCREAM! God it's so satisfying!!!!!!!!
That was absolutely beautiful! Fantastic job.
Very cool! I’ve been wanting to try bending with kerfs. Loved your little reinforcing splines. Not I’m pumped to try it. Great job, thanks for the inspiration!
This is brilliant. Craftsmanshio and no waffle.
Your video of this technique has helped me with my DIY pedalboard. Thank you.
One of the most beautiful wood working projects I have seen , great technique !
Very clever construction. Thanks for posting!
First it was nails, then cookie decorating, but now I’ve found my new favorite relaxation videos: WOODWORKING!
(Beautiful pieces, too.)
Nails???
Sevendogtags fingernails! 💅
Awesome build! I'm going to build one of these with shorter legs to go on the middle couch cushion.
Also, I love the thematic shooting. Diresta would be proud.
Simple and elegant. It's brilliant!
Really great work. I've never had a go at Kerf bending, but this definitely inspired me to give it a go.
I love how you used the captions to explain the video. Good work.
This is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely awesome!
Wow. Those look incredibly satisfying to build. Awesome work!
Thanks so much for this! Exactly what I was looking for to solve a project!
Very good content, and very cool approach on how you planned and filmed from the angles and edited the video. Good stuff...
Absolutely amazing. Well done!
Very satisfying to watch. Always wanted to try kerf cuts. Subbed for sure!
Neat. Like the no talk/no music format.
Wow! So amazing and you made it look so easy. Loved your film style too. So excited to try this.
This is so satisfying to watch!
OMG, this was very cool to watch. It helped me tremendously on my upcoming projects. Thank you kindly :)
Great functionality and clean aesthetic there pal. I love the idea of the bridging panel. Have a great 2018. 👊👊👊
It's the little things that count and that jointing section, finishes it off perfectly.
This is a great idea. Although I wouldn't use the filler piece the simple yet beautiful tables are great as it's.
this is awesome ... best kerf cut tutorial on youtube ... 5 BIG FAT STARS
I thought you were making KEF speakers but it's your craftsmanship keeps me here, cheers!
Beautiful work!
Bloody genius! 👏
Absolute genius! Amazing.
Very good! Learning never ends - always wondered how those curves are done!
Lovely job !!!
Not bad at all. Thank you for sharing this with us.
A simple masterpiece
Great project and video, I'm going to have to copy it one of these days. 👍
Ahh, those splines! Genius!
This technique would make a really cool guitar amp cab. Thanks!
Hey man, such a nice built and great explanatory video, you've got a new subscriber! :)
Fabulous stuff. 10 seconds in and I was subscribed.
Idem
Awesome project! Subscribed!
Outstanding! Very clear, even without narration. I couldn't do a silent video if you paid me money. Also, I wonder if you could do the glue-up with epoxy thickened with dark (walnut ) dust. Then the glue would be it's own filler and you'd get a nice contrast in the joint; kind of like an inlay. Just a thought.
So cool excellent video technique
nice and simple. straightforward, well-made video
absolutely amazing
Nice job! Style of video is like Ishitani Furniture
That's is a very neat little trick. Cutting stripes to bend it...I only saw people using hot steam so far... The result looks great as well. :D
Cracking video, and excellent guide, thank you
Great video, I felt like i was meditating while watching it,
Very cool! Loved the pole sanding...that didn’t come out right...good job sanding with your...I’m just gonna quit...great build!!!
I think I can help you phrase that. It's what really enjoyable watching him work that long hard pole into every nook and cranny.
Völundr Frey LMFTFY
I enjoyed watching him use his long hard shaft to ream out that tight spot 😂
This is amazing to watch
Beautiful and great idea! 👍
Great job! I've done tons of stuff like this in the past, mainly on custom boat interiors.
Two for those interested in trying this. Thin kerf blades create fairer curves, less stress and fewer failures. Tip two, dont use regular wood glue, very poor gap filling properties. You should use epoxy, thicken it with wood flour and you are good to go, no filler or splints required.
Very clever,good job.
Awesome original plan and great build video...+1 subscriber...Cheers!
Lean, Nice and Clean
Nice work
Very Cool Build!!!
Nice vid,beats steam box bending any day great job on the build !!!!!!
Super sweet! Love the visuals these create
So brilliant
Nicely done
i think i'm gonna go to a college for woodworking, this shiz is just so satisfying and fulfilling, thank you for this awesome video
Now that takes some skill!
Very nice!
This doesn’t even look like a self made piece of furniture ( except the thing in between the two ). If I saw this anywhere for 50-100 I wouldn’t even think about not buying it because it’s such a bargain. Very nice work and the self adhesive film took it to a whole different level
What a crazy idea!!!
Neat, well done 😋
I am busy looking for applause emojis as well as tipping my hat off to you for your skills. I have to attempt this! Thanks for making it happen
Good stuff!
found this in my feed.. yep that got a sub quick!.. nice execution!
Man, that was a great video.
That’s brilliant
Very nice project an a cool video, just had to subscribe to your channel :)
awesome technique
I just wish you would talk I hate video without talking. You're obviously a skilled joiner but hearing your voice and actually listening to your tips would have got me to subscribe.
3:55 - Honey, have you seen the table leg?!
Uh... nope.
Omg! Fukin amazing work!
I’m flabbergasted. Why did no one ever tell me that you could do that with plywood?! Im a girl, but still...I feel like this is a secret you guys were keeping from us.
good job

The noise with this speed-up makes me giggle.
I'm given this image in my head of a small animal scampering around.
Man this project looks so cool and relatively easy enough for the likes of a college student to build. Thanks for the idea, dude.

Simple idea, minimalist design, well done! 👍🏻
Totally DOPE!!
Amazing
what an awesome idea. I'd have made them slightly taller than the cushions so that they were the same exact height and fit the bridge a little more flush, but it still amazing :D x
Every time in the captions, it says "glamor" shots and I chant in my head
*"glamour shots glamour shots glamour shots"*
super bravo et merci pour la video
Very nice design
Thanks for sharing
Plywood is magic
It looked like you said "ehh good enough" many, many times in this video.
Love it, great work!! How stable is the table? Could you use it as a seat as well? Or make a seat with this bending technique? Cheers!
Almost kickback at 5.29! Be safe. We don't want to lose another great man
Perfect 😃👍
that's cool
So far, we've used these to hold drinks/snacks while watching tv, and they were excellent pushed together with the connecting piece in between when our daughter started building with her Christmas Legos!
I love this so much. If I wasn't broke I'd gild your reddit post
Thank You
Very cool. I like the vinyl you put on the underside too. I wonder if epoxy for glue would be a little stronger? Not that what you did appeared weak at all.
Great choice in pencils
1:57 So satisfying!
