Veneered Curved Lamination

Creating a veneered curved lamination for a stool leg.
The trick here is to veneer the first layer flat with flexible PVA glue then press that with the lamination layers using Unibond 800 for a rigid glue line that won't spring back and hold strong. Enjoy!

If there isn’t any dust in the shop, you’re not making money, or maybe the that’s what the spiders say !👍🎩. I love your design and that vise tooo

[@imaginegrove]

So true!

I noticed that you included a bit of rope in the vacuum bag. Was that to help get a better pressing--to even out the "flow" of air as you drew a vacuum? Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@imaginegrove]

yes, it acts as a cheap breather layer which prevent the bag sealing itself off before reaching full vacuum. thanks

[@Curly_Maple]

Please stop this sir. You are making the rest of us look bad. Just kidding! Great stuff!

[@imaginegrove]

thanks

Thank you for sharing this. I was looking into the construction of LVL wind turbine towers, the company that makes them, MODVION state that they use LVL boards that are fixed (i believe) which are then bent, is it possible to do this when the boards are set and dry?

[@imaginegrove]

no, to create a bent board it can be steam bent (air dried wood only), or laminated layers and bent before glue sets, or milled from solid (which would be a waste of material.

Why don’t you use the ub800 on the veneer to hardboard also and press everything at once? I’m new to vac veneering and trying to learn all I can. And is it 3M brand hardboard or did you mean 3mm hardboard?

[@imaginegrove]

I like to press the veneer flat first which ensures complete adhesion and allows me to pre-sand and finish. Much faster and easier this way. Then I can do my laminations. 3 mm hardboard
