Build a Steam Box

Recently I purchased a Steam Bending Kit from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware so I could try out some Steam Bending. Bending wood is something I have never tried before and is out of my comfort zone. I wanted to dive into this area of woodworking and challenge myself as well as learn something new. So of the various forms of wood bending (Laminated Bending, Milled Bending, Steam Bending) I chose steam bending to be my first attempt.

The kit I purchased included the reservoir, hose, and some hardware for a box (Hinges and Latch) and a plan for a steam box. Well building the box is the first step into this new venture so that's exactly what I did in this weeks video project. Stay Tuned for Next weeks video… A Steam Bending Project.

A very informative video, Laney. Always thought wood steaming was harder than it really is. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks.

Eddie , I filled the reservoir with hot water to speed up heating time. Within minutes it was steaming and the box temp climbed to 160 and reach 212 degrees very soon after… when it reaches that point. then you time the steaming 1 hour for every 1" of thickness of material being steamed… this single reservoir can steam up to 130 minutes which is more then enough time to steam pieces as thick as 2" thick.. which i dont think ill be bending anything that thick..lol
