    Jointing Bent Plywood

    Hi folks I have ordered the vacuum bag press and have been busy on some designs for some furniture. I'm coming up with a question and I can't come to an answer. I would like to bend some Plywood and join the two ends. Create a complete loop. Similar to the Alvar Aalto design. How has he created...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    I have not insulted anyone on here and never would, I had a bad experience at a show, and I am entitled to my opinion. No one at the show had the first idea about who I was, when I showed an interest and asked genuine questions I was met with short and sharp answers. Never ever judge a...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    "Far from being difficult in any way, commissioning furniture is an enjoyable and creative process. Some clients come to me after an often long and fruitless search, knowing exactly what they want but being unable to find it." That's a direct quote from your web site. And then you write this...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    They had no idea why I was there and I could have quiet easily been there looking for a maker. I'm fully aware of what it costs to exhibit and if it had been me exhibiting then i would have at least shown an interest. Your answer is exactly what I was trying to say about the makers in this...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    I visited the Celebration of Craftsmanship & Design a few times to have a look at what the UK makers had to offer and hopefully speak to them about there designs and generally talk to the designers. Admittedly I had a shaved head and some ripped jeans on as it was a spur of the moment visit, I...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    Not envy just a sad feeling for the up and coming young people on the circuit who are taking things one step further than Dovetails and veneer's. It's an old boys club that has no place in this modern age. Rant over. Ha ha, that web page, teach me to get a student to do it for me, seems to be...

    Vacuum bag press

    Ever so slightly to give the feel of a curve, the width I have is roughly 700mm and I would not need more than 25mm rise at either end. Does that make sense?. Strong as an Ox that's been fed. Reference the Celotex, would I just glue and layer this up then do my shaping till I had my desired...

    Vacuum bag press

    I will do, I like to involve the client as much as possible and present them with a book of the making. Starting at the timber in rough, working all the way through to the finished project. Justifies my price when you show a passion. Got a lot of ideas in the pipe line so patience. Just saw the...

    How can I find someone to produce a chair designed by me?

    It's a great list with some great names that I know well, however in my eyes this is a closed group for me. A fine collection of carpenters but try getting on that list. If you based in or near London I would be more than happy to have a look, as said above. Patrick

    Vacuum bag press

    Thanks guys. I would make an inverted former so as the piece was upside down in the Bag. I would like to add a slight curve to the whole piece so it wrapped around the body, bum & legs, very slightly though. My plan, correct me if I'm wrong. 1" MDF cut into the shape and screwed & glued...

    Vacuum bag press

    Thanks guys, I was a little worried that I wouldn't get the pressure I required with a Bag but seems I'll get more than enough. Any views on the Bag I'm thinking of getting. http://www.axminster.co.uk/bagpress-pro ... rc=froogle
