After watching my Facebook friend Woodworking or mere mortals make a jig for bending thin strips of wood, I had to try and make one. The thickness of my plywood made cutting curves in it nearly impossible. I used 4 ply’s and I don’t think my BS can take much more of this. I’m going to make another out of a second sheet of plywood, maybe two different curves, or just a jig to make certain angles. The options are to cut the strips to be bent very thin, then you can either soak them, or glue them up and bend 4 or 5 at the same time. I have some small strips from a 2×4 in there now drying, they should retain the curve when I take them out. -- A positive attitude will take you much further than positive thinking ever will. |
