bending wood































what the hell am i doing trying to bend wood?? anyways, i jigged the monotheatrum design so that it utilizes only one basic arc, a quarter section of an 11'x 8' oval.  In the picture you can see this arc cut out of MDF, alongside some other arcs needed for the archway section.  the idea is to build the main supports by laminating bent strips of wood together.  i am going to bend the wood using a steamer, pictured above.  And no, I am not storing or using that propane tank indoors, i just rigged it up to take a picture of it.  I moving it to my porch today to test some wood strips with it.

safety first!
