A bit of bending

[dexta]

Doing a job that needs a few curved components so thought I would post up some pics.

 

The main arch is just laminated but the second piece has bit too tight a curve to manage in one so have first steam bent the laminates before glueing them together.

 

First the arch which was relatively straight forward. No pics of it being made I am afraid.

 

That's a really nice table. Did you design it your self or work off a plan

Thanks mate

 

It's not actually a table as such but pretty hard to guess exactly what it will be at this stage

 

Yes own design but a plan would have been nice.

Not sure what it is ,but from 1 of your pics it looks like it could be a display cabinet/desk thing ! It looks like nice quarter sawn oak on the legs and those curved bits have an ecclesiastical / gothic style to them , ..... and I am unsure what it will be for ! where about's in devon are you ? I am in Newton Abbot .

Down near Tavistock and you are quite right on the "ecclesiastical / gothic style" as it a piece to go in a church.

A fine piece such as that must surely be finished with Liberon finishing oil !!

Nice collection of bessey clamps ! There worth a penny or two

You would think so from my usual recommendations for it but I may yet go for linseed oil as this will darken the oak a bit more over time and fit in better with the other oak in the church.

Finally got around to taking some pictures of the finished trolley.
