Post by heathicus »

Thought you might enjoy this video. Steve of "Woodworking For Mere Mortals" shared it on Facebook. A steam bent bench from one piece of wood from tree trunk to finished product.

An amazing transformation from log to table. I was spellbound.

Steve is a very ingenious woodworker. Oh for such talent to reside in my small cranium...

I'm now more than ever convinced I MUST HAVE A MUCH BIGGER SHOP!!!!

Let's see - where did I leave that lottery ticket anyway?
