How I bend wood at home.<br /><br />Instead of going through the hassle of building a wooden box to steam bend wood, I decided to use a 200mm (8"), thick wall irrigation pipe. Made the whole process quick and easy.<br />The pipe I used is 2.5m (8ft) long as I am planning on bending longer pieces of wood in the future. <br /><br />Used an old 20L (5 gal.) oil drum I cleaned up and filled with water to generate the steam needed to bend the wood.<br /><br />To feed the steam from the steam generator to the steam box I used a piece of silicone type pipe.<br /><br />Everything held up well considering the heat associated with generating and using steam.<br /><br />Visit https://woodworkjunkie.com for more.<br /><br />SAFETY FIRST<br />Remember, generating steam in an enclosure can cause an explosion. If you build a steam box always add a pressure release hole for steam to escape.<br /><br />IMPORTANT - Disclaimer!<br /><br />All of the videos on this channel are intended for entertainment purposes only. <br /><br />Should you choose to make or do anything as depicted on this channel you would do so at your own risk.<br /><br />Woodworking and the use of power tools can be extremely dangerous.<br />The equipment and methods I use may not work for you as it does for me and by no means do I suggest that my methods of<br />working are correct. <br />Therefore you should always use your equipment and power tools as instructed by the owners manual supplied by the manufacturer. <br /><br />Always use protective gear where applicable and never attempt something you are not comfortable doing. <br /> <br />Your shop safety is YOUR responsibility, so therefore I accept NO responsibility or liability for any injuries or accidents you may have if you attempt to do the things that I do. <br /><br />Please, stay safe and work smart.
