How to bend wood?

[Aaron]

So when it comes to wood work I am very novice. I can install wood flooring and frame. However bends I have never done. All of these beautiful vintage rigs have many bends. How do you do this? I will need to do this on my ceiling on the 1966 Mitchell. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Aaron,

    One of the best places to learn almost anything is U-tube.  The most common way to bend wood is in a steam box.  Simple to build one if it's needed.  Laminating or "cold molding" is another option I use a fair bit.  Hope this helps, Tony, Joy and Cool Paw Luke
