  • Bent Wood Table // Bent Lamination // Dining Table… In this video, I decide to bend some wood. There are various ways to accomplish bent lamination, such as steam bending, kerf cutting or the method I used which is to cut a series of thin wood laminations to bend around a form and glue them all together. It's a time consuming task, but well worth the effort. A bent lamination detail adds nice visual interest and can really enhance the appeal and value of a piece of furniture. It opens up a whole new design aesthetic to incorporate into your furniture designs. I'm certainly NOT an expert, but I think I learned quite a bit on this project to help me on any future projects that will require bending lamination to give a bent wood look. Well, I probably learned even more because I had to build it TWICE!! Stay tuned to the end of the video to find out why I had to build two tables. #bentwoodtable #bentlamination #kjsawdust #bendingwood

    As a young man around 40 years ago my father took me to a local lumber jack and horse show in the hills of Appalachia Kentucky. That was when I was introduced to wood turning. It was a treadle style wood lathe with a sapling as in your video. The craftsman was building tables and chairs all from hand tools starting with logs he used no nails, screws, or glue. We watched for hours! I was very impressed! Thank you for reminding me of a great day with my Dad.

    I’m an experienced woodworker and have made many laminated forms as well as steamed. I have nothing but praise for your methodology; it’s exactly how my processes have evolved. It was quite late on that you confirmed that your walnut was air dried - that’s quite important as kiln dried timber can/usually does take bends and steaming quite differently.
    Separately to the methodology is the design. That’s very personal but I, personally, think your base is very elegant. Sturdy but not chunky. To my eyes. I’d have that in my house.
    Good clear guidelines so that people can quite easily follow your process.

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking

  • @SmokeFlame1

    That is certainly a beautiful table. So well built and explained. It also brings back memories for me because the bending process was similar to what I did about 20 years ago. A friend of mine taxied his homeuilt aircraft into the side of a hangar door. The rounded wingtip was crushed. He and I made a template from the opposite wing and flipped it over to make a pattern. We used Sitka Spruce cutting 1/8 strips. It turned out beautifully. Of course it was not as thick as yours and the curve was not as acute, but after planing, sanding and recovering, the tip was perfect. He was flying again in short order. Thanks for your video. I really enjoyed it.

    I work in the Commercial Casework industry... with 20 years in milkwork. I consider myself a millwork specialist. I do not have a degree in wood products but have definitely worked on some amazing projects and had the pleasure of learning from wood workers whom worked in mills longer than I'd been alive... I must say you're work is impressive. Clean shop and well taken care of machinery are essential to success or avoiding problematic process or even injury. I just wanted to commend your work and relay you are a true craftsman in my eyes. Look forward to watching future projects you may do and share for all the wood working community.
    Btw... I bet that walnut splinter hurt... oak is worse in my opinion... My old boss would see me digging a splinter out and he'd say: "you trying to steal wood again?"
    Love that joke.. take care and God bless... Jesus was a carpenter... your doing the lords work my friend!

    Hi.
    I am a wood-technician, that works in a firm which makes furniture, and I must say you are the first woodworker on TH-cam that I would consider professional. Your work is great, detailed and precise. You don't use hobby solutions for joints and details, you use something similar to what woodworking firms use.
    So great work and carry on making great projects.

      I don't watch many woodworking youtubers. And he really was the 1st I would consider professional. Of course there are others that are also professionals, but he is just the first one of the ones I watched.
      P.S: Making crazy joints doesn't mean your a professional woodworker. It's the way you make them and the techniques you use, and many TH-cam woodworkers lake those qualities.

      There are a lot of “content creators” who use wood to make TH-cam content, but who aren’t professionals. Professionals are focused on design, efficiency, and customer focused final product. Most of the other wood workers are selling 10,000 chairs to 10,000 hobbyists, where Keith is sharing his contracted work with the audience.

      Evox so hold them hostage to pay me and never get any more from work from them again? Or try and help a good client out by selling it to someone else? I’ll take the latter. Sticking it to a client will have worse ramifications. And I already have 3 more jobs lined up with this client. I would have had ZERO and a potential small claims court battle.

      I can understand both sides of this conversation, but I have to agree with Keith. I own a business in a different industry but have had customers give wrong specs as well. As long as they can admit it’s on them, I’ll redo it for free. The cost of you eating it is A LOT more then me, but if you can still sell it, at least you make some money back. My business is all custom so I can’t resell the product...but it’s not a huge loss...especially to keep the customer and to have the customer say good things about my customer service.
      I had a woman trying to blame me right out of the gate...I didn’t remake her order. I tried explaining where her error was, but kept yelling and blaming me...she didn’t want to hear it. That’s NOT a customer I care to keep.

    Of all the physical activities known to mankind, woodworking is one of them.
    Attention and intention shape and coax the beauty that is already there to simply shine a bit more brilliantly and be noticed as the principled application of design dancing with beauty. A function is satisfied as elegantly as opposites attracting.
