From this article we will learn how to make a device for giving different curved shapes to strips of wood. Master, also, introduce us to the technology of such work.
Tools and materials:
-Metal pipe with thread;
-Flange;
-Board;
-Burner;
-Polypropylene pipe;
-Capacity with water;
-Sprayer;
-Fasteners;
-Saw;
-Drill;
-Sandpaper;
-Clamp;
-Crown on wood;
Step One: Pipe
To work with wood, the surface of the pipe must be clean. Emery paper strips the pipe to white metal.
Step Two: Case
The device body is made of wood.
Cuts a hole.
Step Three: Flange
Secures the flange to the housing. Tightens the tube.
Step Four: Clamp
From a polypropylene pipe makes a clamp for the burner.
Step Five: Burner
Installs a burner.
Step Six: Technology
For bending wood, wooden strips up to 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) thick are used. First you need to soak a strip in a container of water for 12 hours. Then it sets the burner on fire, tightens it to a minimum and waits for the pipe to heat up. Check the degree of heating of the pipe by dropping water on it. A drop of water should not evaporate, but slide.
Holds a strip of pipe several times. Periodically it is necessary to wet the strip. After the Wood becomes “elastic”, you need to fix it on the template of the desired radius. Detailed technology can be viewed.
