themadchemist Posted June 5, 2013 #242 Posted June 5, 2013 Hello again Ferit you mentioned that you glued the end with CA. Was CA also used between layers or PVA. Its amazing what you can make wood do with water and heat. Ferit 1 Quote
Ferit Posted June 5, 2013 Author #243 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the answer Ferit. We have so an planck bender also but I can not work with it... All my planks are still broken so I'll do it on the old fashion way. Soaking and very careful…... Hello Sjors, My humble thought is that the success depends on what kind of wood you use, what thickness / width ratio has your strip, which temperature has the water, how long it's soaked and how enduring you are... With the hard wood it's impossible... 2 x 6 mm wood strip is more handleable than 2 x 4 mm's... The water has to be as hot as possible... The strip has to be soaked 5-10 minutes at least... Maybe the strip has to be soaked and bended more than 20 times, bended little by little so that even it becomes dried at every turn... (Please don't consider me as a snappish, I only tried to share my experience that in fact, everybody knows...)

Its amazing what you can make wood do with water and heat. Hello Keith, Thank you again ... Between layers I used also CA. Sometimes I have not enough patience to wait that PVA becomes dry. But it's judicious to use PVA. In this wise it's more difficult to see the seam between layers...

themadchemist Posted June 5, 2013 #247 Posted June 5, 2013 I too have found that bending wood is a very slow patient process, with multiple soakings and shapings working best. The grain cut in the piece of wood also plays a part. For extreme bends try to hand pick a plank with grain that doesnt cross the planking. Where the wood fibre runs the full length of the plank. Heat is important, probably as much as wet, but not too much dry heat. Re-wetting is important. In furniture building, like the bent back winsor chairs, steaming the wood is usually used. Green wood is also a trick, I've been wanting to harvest some fresh Oak and attempt making an oak basket. I would have loved to watch you make them, Ferit. The things you can make wood do never ceases to amaze me. And Ferit, your a master. but mastery comes to all that will pay the price of TIME. Ferit 1 Quote
Ferit Posted June 6, 2013 Author #248 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) . Hi and thank you Keith for the info, I am quite agree with you. Which tips you have added to the info are very important for bending... And thank you again for your precious comments, extremely encouraging me...

themadchemist Posted June 13, 2013 #268 Posted June 13, 2013 To quote Augie At some point you'll step back, look at her and think "I really did that?" I dont know how many times thats happened to me. When I see just what I can accomplish by trying I never cease to amaze myself. Allow yourself to be amazed and bewildered, It makes life so much more an adventure. I know you'll get passed this and It will be amazing. I watched Randy (lamarvalley) talk about how he couldn't make 4 spoked canon wheels, then after some silent time BAM, I saw what makes me love this hobby.

Beef Wellington Posted June 14, 2013 #269 Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Ferit, I'm embarrassed I've only just been able to catch up fully on your beautiful Berlin build log. The ship you made really doesn't look like a kit at all, and the wood tone and your detailed craftsmanship have really done her proud. I love that you described yourself as an "obsessed beginner" - there is nothing wrong with positive 'obsession' like yours, although I'd argue with the 'beginner' - looks like you've mastered so much already. The ship looks very natural as if the crew have just popped below for bit to eat, I love that look. Great stuff, can't wait to see more. Ferit 1 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Ferit Posted June 14, 2013 Author #270 Posted June 14, 2013 . Hello Jason, I am grateful to you for stopping by and for kind words... BTW, I can easily and certainly say that your HMS Snake is really impressive...
