Bent lamination form.
While this method is not very strong it does allow for easy forming of wide or tall parts.
Essentially by kerfing the part you are making it thinner so it can be flexed to follow a curve.
Actually there s no magic required.
There are two basic ways to clamp the parts while the glue dries.
A bent lamination is simply a board sliced into thin flexible plies and glued back together in a form to create the desired shape see photo above.
Learn how to make wood magically bend to your will.
Once dry the resulting part will pretty much hold its shape forever.
Bent laminations don t take a lot of specialized equipment.
The more seams you have the less chance for springback.
Kerf bending is the process of cutting a number of slots into a piece of material that allow it to bend.
Once the glue dries the workpiece will hold it s new shape.
The formula is y amount of springback x depth of chord desired to bend n number of layers.
With glue between each lamination a press is used to bend the bundle of laminations around a form.
Lamination is the process of bending many thin parts together and holding them in the desired shape until the glue between them dries.
If your radii is tight you can use 1 16 wisa italian bending plywood.
These sheets come in 4 x 8.
Using clamps or a vacuum press and we will look at both methods.
The process starts with ripping some thin strips of wood and applying glue to each strip.
What you need to use for bent wood lamination is 1 8 bending poplar plywood that comes in either long or short grain.
Bent lamination is based on the principle that if several strips are glued together face to face against a rigid form they retain the shape of the form.
In this intractable you will learn how to create a bending form for bent lamination.

Bent lamination form how to.
Nearly any saw can be used for kerfing.
Last updated on tue 11 aug 2020 bent lamination bent lamination is a process of bending thin strips of wood using lots of glue and lots of clamps.
Just a saw some wood some glue and a few time tested techniques.
So the first order of business is to build the form followed by cutting the wood into lamination strips.
There is a correction to the lamination formula given in the video.
