Steam Bending Wood

Okay, I don't know a thing about woodworking but I'm always fascinated with fine craftsmanship and people who make an honest living with their hands (as opposed to those who believe themselves to be "philosopher kings" - finding ways to rob the rest of us through their accounting practices, false preaching, and government malfeasance). In this video a homemade wood steaming unit is demonstrated. I stumbled upon this guy in the foothills west of Boulder, Colorado - He was doing a lot of woodwork, on a friend's house, and built this device to help bend wood for some of his fancier work. Off video, and in the recording, he talked about the need for the wood to have a certain moisture content - something we have trouble with in our dry climate here in Colorado. I believe he feels a temperature of about 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) is about perfect for the kind of bending he's interested in. However, he has trouble reaching that temperature with his homemade box so is usually satisfied if he can get around 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93.3 degrees Celsius). Either way, I found it all to be very interesting as it's the first time I've ever seen such a device! Here's my personal website: http://www.rogerwendell.com 08-21-2009
