Re-bending sides...

Got a new way of doing something? Or maybe an old method that needs some clarification.

Re-bending sides...

Post by Taffy Evans » Sun Apr 30, 2023 11:23 am

Hi, the other week I pulled a set of sides off the shelf that I had bent up, 000 size, about a year ago ready to start a new build. Whilst preparing for this new build I noticed that both sides were the same bend, not a bass and treble side set. Oops, I wonder who did that?

The photos show how I got around the problem. I flattened the faulty side out and re-bent it, and it worked fine. :gui
Photos should tell the story.

I lost a couple of photos, but you get the idea.

Reckon you were lucky to get away with that Taffy. I'm sure if I tried that I would have cracks all over the place! What is the timber.

Hi Dave, the back and sides are New Guinee Rosewood. Martin, I may have been lucky due to the fact the sides were prepped a bit too thin. In fact, I ended up making them a laminated set with stiffer side braces and kerfing. OOO size.
