    If you can bend an Ice cream stick does that count.

    I can bend wood with my mind. Especially after I've just resawed it. I've learnt that if you say "Don't you bend you b&£$%!d, don't you bloody bend on me" it will bend about 90% of the time.
    I will try and be there tomorrow. Working from home.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Paige, I think you’re our resident wizard. You’ve been able to share good knowledge on nearly every topic we’ve discussed.

    Here's the picture frame I made.

    The timber for the frame was scavenged from the stiffening pieces running through the polystyrene padding/packing from the dishwasher we bought recently.

    So I got on to be abused by all for my Hat. Was a good fun meeting about steaming and welding. I think we need longer meetings. I don't know if we can do that. A steam bending video could be organized when I can clean my bench off.

    Did Pagie have a hat on.... did miss seeing a chainsaw though
    Thanks for the information
    Couple of the multitude of links that turn up but caught my eye as a complete novice
    Lots of pictures of forms etc in this one Steam Bending | WOOD Magazine

    The technical publications from State Forests NSW has a great table at the end for australian woods and their suitability
    http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/ass...-of-Timber.pdf

    oh and for the nearly compulsory 3D print tie in .... you could actually print forming sections with some of the high temperature plastics that are available

    And here is a multi curved print that might interest BobL actually, it's a dust chute for the SCMS that i actually got the measurements close but not close enough... forgot the blade on ine is not centred on the blade dust collector

    Sorry I missed last Friday's Prattle.

    I was otherwise occupied by attending the local auction where my attention had been drawn to 3 lots of hand tools: a set of brace and a comprehensive set of bits, a bucket (literally!) of some 15 Titan chisels & 3 boxes of assorted hand tools, including a variety of hammers etc.
    Well, I missed on all three as the bidding had gone above what I thought was fair value.

    I was mostly interested in the chisels which were is fairly poor condition. Just about all of them had damaged handles and some had rusty blades...

    Fortunately all wasn't lost: I went home with another lot I hadn't even spotted: a Dawn 4 1/2 SP engineer's vise in good nick, with very little rust that I can see!

    Sorry Chaps, I'm off the the Metalwork Forum for some valuable advice on vise restoration !!!

    Cheers Yvan
