My Boyfriend loved this book. he has been reading since i got it for him. He says that it has the answers that he's been want ing regarding the art of woodbending
I purchased this book as a gift for my husband who works with wood for a hobby. He says it is an excellent book and easy to understand.I liked the prompt and reliable shipping from Amazon. The book was a birthday gift and arrived well before the time I needed it.
After getting in over my head, I bought three wood bending books: this one (Schleining), Zachary Taylor's "Wood Bender's Handbook" and "Fine Woodworking on Bending Wood." Taylor is slightly more recent, but it omits many pertinent aspects. His sidebars and outlines really help a woodworker make good decisions. He shies away from steam-bending, because it gives such variable results, but he finds that it can often be combined profitably with follow-up milling or laminating. Taylor is relatively superficial and focused on making musical instruments. He does not provide project plans (Taylor does for oval boxes, walking sticks, boat ribs, and chair backs). The Fine Woodworking book is spotty (magazine articles from 1975-1984) and covers many advanced topics (e.g. For example, he doesn't cover milling (cutting) or coopering (low-angle joints) wood as a way to obtain curves, and he gives little attention to some practical aspects, such as drawing plans. He gives extremely helpful details on glueing, jigs, and routing.
Lapstrake boatbuilding, tapered laminations, violin making). Schleining is by far the best choice for the intermediate-level amateur that needs advice from someone with a lot of practical experience. He gives superb practical advice on which machine to use in what combination, he has excellent jig plans, and many hard-won safety recommendations. Luthiers will enjoy this book, but also find more detail in the other two.
