Bending wood for furniture...tips, tricks and techniques.

Bent Wood Table // Bent Lamination // Dining Table… In this video, I decide to bend some wood. There are various ways to accomplish bent lamination, such as steam bending, kerf cutting or the method I used which is to cut a series of thin wood laminations to bend around a form and glue them all together. It's a time consuming task, but well worth the effort. A bent lamination detail adds nice visual interest and can really enhance the appeal and value of a piece of furniture. It opens up a whole new design aesthetic to incorporate into your furniture designs. I'm certainly NOT an expert, but I think I learned quite a bit on this project to help me on any future projects that will require bending lamination to give a bent wood look. Well, I probably learned even more because I had to build it TWICE!! Stay tuned to the end of the video to find out why I had to build two tables. #bentwoodtable #bentlamination #kjsawdust #bendingwood ➤ Join my Modern Wood Academy and build a Modern Walnut Console Table along with me: https://rebrand.ly/modernwoodacademy ➤ Sign up for my FREE 3-part Video Series: https://bit.ly/KJfreevideoseries 0:00 Intro and bloopers 0:31 Building the forms 2:51 Re-sawing the bent laminations 4:29 Building the center post 5:50 Building the top and bottom sections of the base 8:23 Pre-bending the laminations 9:19 Final modifications to the bending form 9:47 Bending and gluing up the first bent lamination 11:47 Trimming the laminations to final size 13:26 First dry fit 13:32 Fitting the curved laminations to the center post and base 14:16 Installing the recessed adjustable feet 15:10 Hardware installation and final details 16:09 Final surface prep and finish application 17:37 Why I built 2 tables 18:26 Final glamour shots and outro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ➤ You can now support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking ➤ Woodpeckers Tools: https://www.woodpeck.com/?rfsn=5849653.fdfd0da ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kjsawdust ➤ Nick Barboza’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nwbwood ➤ ShopSounds Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shop-sounds-podcast/id1514814400 ➤ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/psy918/ ➤ Website: https://www.keithjohnsoncww.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ➤Additional videos for bending wood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIKOKTZiNeQ&t=784s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g85DplCf8iI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQU5sSKx9ug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ➤ My Tools (Woodworking & Audio/Video): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kjsawdust ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ➤ Affiliate Links for Tools/Products used in this build: Infinity Tools Dadonator Blade: https://tinyurl.com/InfinityTools-Dadonator-JR-6in 36-inch Irwin Quick Grip Clamps: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001W02QYU/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.2S5DS13UV4RKH Gorilla Glue Polyurethane Glue: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000223UU/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.2UPP7WHTAL6DH Rubio Monocoat PURE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OA5V19K/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ ➤ For all the songs I used, Check out Epidemic Sound!
