Re: [ATM] Cutting large-diameter PVC

["Bob May" <rmay@nethere.com>]

When bending wood, remember that steaming it will allow it to
bend easily.
Steaming is done by making a tube that will hold the wood )a
piece of PVC_ and allowing steam from a kettle to flow into the
tube for a while.  Pull the wood and quickly, before it starts to
really cool, bend it around whatever you want tobend it around.
Leave it for a day or so and it will take the approximate shape
of the form.  There i9s no pressure really required for
thisalthough pros do use a few pounds of pressure to make their
work go faster.  Steaming wood has been done for many centuries
and there is probably a good primer on doing that on the web.
Reminds me that I'e got to steam a cane up for me from some
botttlebrush limbs that I've got lying about.
