Making a Wood Bending Iron

When I first started bending wood it seemed like a dark art. Now, it's just another tool in the tool box. There are lots of ways to bend wood and one way is with a bending iron. And there are lots of ways to make bending irons. Hopefully you will get some ideas in this quick video.

Great video! I like the part about when you woke up after your wife told you to get a tig welder. Too funny! @ 3:42 you called the cartridge heater a "carriage " heater. I'm thinking a carriage heater would be considerably larger, and possibly wood or coal-fired. lol Loved your vid, very helpful! ja

Very cool. Roughly what did it cost in materials?

[jerryrobertsguitars]
