isnt it easier to use a flexi ply???
Slow setting glue would be in order for this job. Regular yellow glue starts to lock up within minutes of putting the strips together.

I have a bed that uses wooden pieces of wood… Yes, wooden pieces of wood for the springs (like a trucks leaf springs). Several of the wood springs have cracked or split. How would I bend new pieces of wood so I could use them as new springs. The bends are fairly slight. Not as much of a bend as in this vid. Could I use the same method as in this video?
Has he not heard of a Crown Guard?
gosh that requires a lot of work and tools to do just that piece of curved wood? wth!
If you use this method the curve will be solid and have no spring. You could try steaming some wooden pieces of wood and clamping them to a mould until it set.
Thanks!
Thanks great helpful vid.
As a UK citizen I still can’t believe the USA continues to use the imperial system – It’s from the dark ages – America doesn’t even have a dark age! Come on USA, get with the programme, go metric like the rest of the civilised world. Then we can communicate more effectively.
that is so true…there are literally NO positives from using an imperial system.
Yeah, Ive used both pretty extensively, metric in college, imperial for almost everything else. Its really all in what your used to. Visually I can use imperial much better. Of course mathematically its def harder.
Do you realize how many millions of dollars of re-tooling that would require?
Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing. wegrtejkt

do you realize how many millions are lost each day due to errors in recalculating imperial to metric and back again?
crown guard on your table saw ouch!
They’d probably prefer if the rest of the world came down to their level.
I guess they love their quarter pounders way to much to swap for a Royal with Cheese.
The Bush years were the dark ages for the US so we are barely coming out of them now. But seriously, what does it matter if we say an eighth of an inch or 3 mm? It doesnt bother me converting from metric and Im not ready to throw out perfectly good tools I already have just to buy a metric equivalentBTW does anybody use a guard on their table saw?

when you do bent laminations if you let the glue harden completly you should get a very small amount of spring back, if you were steam bending, that is when you would notice a good amount. Just make sure you use a good amount of clamping pressure and let it sit for at least 8 hours if you are using yellow wood glue
Ive heard of them, its in the trash somewhere, i like to do things the manly way. I think they get in the way to much, I am as carfull as can be, that is why i rip the strips that way, so that I am not sandwiching an 1/8 strip between the blade and fence that could vibrate and get shot out like an arrow.
His ripping proceeder is silly. Just set the fence at 1/8 rather than moving the fence for every rip. Simple.
Guards are dangerous.
