    How do you insulate the box? It's 3/4" exterior plywood. I'm using the Rockler steam generator.

    I was fortunate enough to work with a number of Nobel laureates during my brief academic career. I found all of them humble, and approachable.

    My favorite encounter was with a Nobel Laureate in...

    I thought of staggering the starts, but I'm wondering if a single steamer can provide enough steam for that large a volume box.
  4. So, my next question. I'm building the steam box...

    So, my next question. I'm building the steam box now (big sucker - 89" long x 12" wide x 7" tall). Considering how large the size of the required steam box is, my question is regarding steam...

    The "other fellow" Darren Oates, has unfortunately taken all his content off of Youtube. Pity, as I hadn't downloaded it as I saw no need. It was very instructive, and he produces beautiful...

    Making the steam box is next as I'm finally done with the form.

    I've been watching many videos on wood bending. This one from a very talented furniture maker takes things to an amazing extreme. ...

    But bag filters are not capable of filtering out fine dust to the extent that cartridge filters can (at least good ones with <1 micron filtration). And that's the stuff you don't want to be...

    Ah, brings back memories of the old joke you would hear when I lived in Boston.

    Four cities were named after Endicott Peabody (Former Governor of Mass): Endicott, Peabody, Marblehead, and Athol.

    I can't believe the thickness of the blade. The specs say it can handle up to a 3.5" (90mm) blade. :eek:

    OK. The forms are built. Just waiting for a deeper hole saw to drill holes in the forms for clamps. And yes, perhaps I should have made the middle hollow. It weighs more than I can possibly lit....

    Cancel the order and have them get you a new, undented car.

    Tesla somehow badly dented a new car I had ordered a couple of years ago. They hemmed and hawwed for 2 weeks saying how long the repair...

    I did just find a 2" diameter hole saw whose description says it can drill up to 6-1/4" depth.

    Great to see you back making sawdust, Bill. Slow and steady wins the race here. And 2/3 is a gazillion times better than 0/3 years.

    Lance may be free to rent now. As is the bike he rode that a friend of mine bought during his Tour de France days, and now is pretty worthless.

    OK. Now the next problem. I have built 8 forms, to be attached to each other to make the required 5-1/2" height to bend the wood laminations against the jig. They have been rough cut on the...
  18. Interesting, Bill. I know nothing about motors,...

    Interesting, Bill. I know nothing about motors, but that motor at 0.5HP at 12V should draw roughly 35ish amps / 420W. What would power that? A car battery? Are there 120VAC - 12VDC power supplies...

    That's exactly what I do. I have a glass mason jar with desiccant pellets in the bottom, and bottles of Thin, Medium, and Thick CA glue in the closed mason jar in the fridge. Haven't had any go bad...

    Are these replays of Woodworks? All of the videos I find there are years old. Just want to make sure I'm watching the correct videos.

    Mine is "just" two rooms. But, at least down here, garages don't factor in to "conditioned space", and thus the sq footage that a house is listed at. So in theory, I think, my house grew by 2400 sq...
