steam bending plywood
To clarify... the template (to fit over the buck that I made) is 26"
wide at its widest point.... but this includes the radii + several inches of material that goes back along the side before the scarfs to join the transom and the sides. This maximum width is at is at the 12" radius area..... at the bottom the template is substantially narrower.... The area being covered is the surface of a conic section and so the template looks like a piece of pie with the tip cut off at a radius... let me see if I can do it in ascii art _ _ _- -_ \ / \ / \ / \n/ template Kind of.... with the scarfs along the edges. The bottom will be bending around the tight 4" radius and the top around the 12" radius. Does this make more sense? Kevin |
