Scale
Meeting 9/12/04
Side Bending
Demo...
This
month's meeting was held at Mercy Music.
Athough only the die hard members showed up it turned out to be
an excellent discussion and learning experience. Our Newest member
Jamey Mill from Lompoc, drove all the way down just to help with the
demonstration. He brought the side bender he made and discribed the
proceedure used on the video he bought with the plans to make his unit.
Gary added his years of experience to the mix. So all in all we got a
pretty good demonstration of how to use the Fox side bender.
Gary brought so various types of wood to try the bender on also some
masonite to copy the templates that he and Jamey made the day before.
Any member is welcome to trace the templates and build his own bender.
Here
are the subjects that were
covered in the meeting:
side wood thickness
bending techniques
dry bending, steaming, and water soak bending
temperatures, heating and cooling time and jigs
