You must be a marathon runner to be able to get from the kitchen to your workshop before the wood cools  :)

I use to run cross country, 30 years ago ;). I just keep the basement door and my shop door open with all tools ready to go. Its a seamless dash from stove to shop, I can get under 10 seconds if I hustle. I told my kid last night that Id have the fastest 40 yard time at the NFL combine this week if they timed me!

Nice build along, Pearlie. I've always used dry heat for bending but I think my next recurve with be bent with steam, especially big hooks like you showed.

Be better off to just buy a cheap hotplate and do it all in your shop, it will make your wife happy  ;)

I'm surprised your wife hasn't bought you a stove for your shop already:)

Nice Kitchen.   I really like the cabinets.  Did you do that with a board or a stave?  :o  ;D






Cool demo. very helpful.  those statics are sweet!

Stave, I wouldn't try to bend a board, no matter its grain. Some things are meant to bend at 90 degrees and somewhere aren't.

I've bent statics in boards no problem ...  :P

I actually really was referring to the cabinets.   :laugh:

I've bent boards before but to your point so far not to 90 degrees.   Will have to do that next.

Really nice looking statics on that for sure.  Thanks for posting this.  I never get tired of this kind of tutorial.  This is really making it nice and simple!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

  I have been leaning more toward steam over dry heat for the sharper statics, I don't seem to get as smooth of a bend with dry heat unless i just get lucky.

Thanks for the bend-along PD, I do it the same way pretty much but mine don't come out as purdy as yours.  Just built myself a real jig like the one you have though.  My wife lets me use the stove because I'm usually the one cleaning up anyways!

Nice steaming rig, PD. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful cabinets.

Thanks Jawgey. My bro in law made those as well as built the house. He is good at the "square" stuff!
