geoff Posted October 28, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2014 the best way is to practice on a piece of scrap wood first. You will notice that the closer together the "Nips" are, the tighter the bend. You may cut through the wood now and again, but practice makes perfect! Sometimes it pays to soak the wood first, it depends on how hard the wood is. I hope this is of some use to you! All the best, Geoff WackoWolf and cristikc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
