i built this box for steam bending guitar sides. the steam box sits on a pan of boiling water on the stove and steam enters through the cutout in the bottom. i designed/built/used it this evening, it seems to work pretty well.

Very clever. How long does the pot generate steam for?

If there is a will there is a way. Good idea.

I believe that would adapt to my shop wood stove or house wood stove quite nicely. Thanks for the idea!

jack – i used it for about 20 minutes and barely made a dent in the water level. i bet it would steam for a couple of hours if you started with plenty of water in the pot.

Looks good. I recently bought a wallpaper steam stripper,$50. But. Easy and makes steam fast.

Great idea, I would not be able to do that at my house though! No way I’d get to steam in the kitchen. My wife had a hissey fit when she discovered the red oak I had stored in the garage freezer for future chair making, the kitchen would be off limits!

Neat idea. Looks like it should work and you can make spaghetti at the same time.

-- Life is about choices. You can spend a lot of money on furniture and have really nice furniture; Or you can spend a lot on tools and have even more expensive, crappy furniture. I made my choice.
