Product Description
Product Description
Wood bending is intriguing to the vast majority of woodworkers, but until now most have not had access to the information they need to add it to their repertoire. This highly visual book and DVD changes that. It features step-by-step instruction on some of the most common techniques. Expert Lon Schleining explains and demonstrates both steam bending (where steam relaxes wood fibres so they can be shaped when clamped to a bending form) and bent lamination (where thin strips of wood are glued together, then clamped to a bending form). Schleining shows just how easy it can be to master these techniques, even using relatively low-tech equipment.

Great resource with top notch information!
2 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this title with the hopes of being able to use it with my students in my Aircraft Woodworking classes I teach in Central Virginia. I have purchased no less than three other titles over the months, and was disappointed with what was out there, available on the complex subject of wood bending. Mr. Schleining's book, cover the subject thoroughly and with excellent photographic depictions of his suggested techniques. Several of the other titles just show sketches of how wood is supposed to be bent, but when you try these techniques, they do not work well. Or they show massive commercial machines used to make commercial furniture. Not something I am interested in. One of the most valuable aspects of the title is that the author shows steps that do not work and then he explains why the wood failed. This is really, well done. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to steam/cold bend wood successfully.

Very good book for wood bending
18 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I definitely recommend this book for wood bending (especially for beginners who have no previous idea of the technique).
The book is detailed and illustrated with good pictures. The author explains the methods used, including the advantages and disadvantages of every procedure.
The book is supported with a CD, which is very effective and will help you build your own wood working project as if you had a guide besides you.

This step-by-step coverage deserves a spot in any woodworker's collection
21 Jan 2011

Adding to Taunton's 'Made Simple' series is a blended book/DVD package covering all the basics of how to bend wood for projects. Design options will appeal to furniture makers who want to add curves to their work, with the illustrated book and DVD set covering all common techniques from steam bending to bent lamination. A fine survey, this step-by-step coverage deserves a spot in any woodworker's collection.
