Steam box

Project by pinkfish posted 19 days ago 448 views 1 time favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Made a simple steam box with some pine and some insulation with a wallpaper steamer for the steam source. Works really nicely!

Surprised by how nicely it worked and how easily it worked, although so far I have only been bending 1/4” pieces of wood.

You can see the bending form I used and a few of the pieces I bent.

Pinkfish, this looks pretty interesting. You engineered a nice set-up.

Let’s hope you didn’t steam the paint off of the Jag

Simplicity at its best! Now if we could only get rigid insulation here and could find a wallpaper steamer!

Yes, hope I don’t steam anything off the jag,. Making a bent runner sled at the moment, now I have a steamer I might try some other stuff too.

Great piece of ingenuity.
Certainly beats the camp stove, stove pipe combo I sometimes use.
Quite impressed that you use a Jaguar as your second sawhorse!
