Have you ever wondered how to make curved components for your woodworking projects? Have you ever seen a curved leg on a table, an arched rail of a door, or the gracefully bent arm of a chair and thought, “I want to do that”? Well lucky for you, this weekend class will demystify the time-tested techniques used to take wood from bland to bendy! In this class Erik will teach students how to bend wood using steam bending, hot pipe bending, and lamination techniques. In addition to teaching, the how, Erik will also teach you why certain bending techniques work (Why does the introduction of steam allow wood to bend?) and when to employ each technique in your work (When should laminate be used on a curve rather than steam bending?). Most importantly, students will walk away from this class with the knowledge and confidence needed to employ curved components in their next furniture project!
