does anyone have any plans I could have for steaming a jig that can fix a bow thats reflexed, and curved out the side.
I would like to take out the sideways curve and the deflex it back to normal

Thanks Scott?
What I want though isnt to know how to steam, Im looking for plans to bend a steamed bow in two directions at once.

now I'm absolutely Certain that someone put up plans on this somewhere here. I've done a search for steaming jigs, and what not and havent found it. I KNOW one of you guys has a great way of doing this.

There's a topic going right now with one in it... As well, there's probably more if you do a search for terms like caul, steam, jig, etc...

Not exactly a steaming jig, but to steam boards or slats I just use a 6" pvc drain pipe with a right angle on one end it over a steam source (boiling water in a pot). I just plug the other end with something and steam away.

HAHA yes yes those are all beautiful cauls and jigs.
However I mean To ask for a Two way bend. both sideways bending and conventional bending. theres a corkskrew (not a propeller) in the limb. Its not too bad so I think I can bend it out but I need to bend in two directions at the same time thats important to remember.

I see it now.
Those are pretty simple. I guess the answer Im looking for then would be larger clamps.
Thanks!!
