Steam Bending Band

[Normancb]

You could look for sheet metal fabricators locally in the yellow pages. They have big sheets of steel and wide guillotines - I've had odd size bits of galvanised steel cut for me that way in the past.

A large car body repair shop may also be worth a try?

Hello,

Thanks for the help, all input is very welcome.

NickWelford, have you not done anything in this vein more recently. I am interested in this seeing some work , or hearing about green woodworking, steam ending etc.

Mike.

Not really. I have collected tools etc - froe and draw knives but not actually done a lot. Where are you situated?

Hello,

Situated up North, in Liverpool. I had a look at your website; the sack back Windsor looks great. You are being a bit modest not posting the photo! I've not done too much recently either, work and house renovations are keeping me away from doing the stuff I like, but hopefully I'll make something worthwhile soon. I stayed with a green wood chair maker in America when I was at the college of the Redwoods fine furniture program in 2003. Did a bit of steam bending there, but not done much till recently; have been concerned more with cabinets etc.
