Includes instructions on building forms or patterns to hold the laminations while the glue is drying. Tips from one woodworker on the making of furniture from laminated plywood which is then sculpted and formed with chisel and Surform tools. Curved edge joint system. How to use a band saw to cut close-fitting joints along a curving line between two contrasting woods. Tapered lamination. How to laminate layers of wood that are not of uniform thickness. The use of tapered laminations and double tapered laminations permit you to make a curved piece whose width and thickness both vary. Bending compound curves. The fabrication of narrow staves, making each stave take the shape of a different, but related curve, is the secret to fabricating larger panels for use as fronts or sides of cabinets. Tips on constructing laminated table tops which are dimensionally stable. Method involves thin (3/16") walnut boards laminated to both the top and bottom of particle board. Tip: Fabricating an oval molding for a marble top coffee table using the "bricklaying" method for building a stacked segmented molding. Tip: Use flexible wooden blankets to eliminate form squeeze-marks when laminating on ribbed bending forms. Letting the wood bend its own way. A flexible method for laminating compound curves. How to saw wood into thin strips, build the jigs, and laminate wood into compound curves. How to make an assembly form and a bending form for guitars, vielles, and similar instruments. Includes tips on building a vielle, wood bending, laminating, etc. Form laminating curved carcases. Glued-up layers look like solid wood. Also includes information on using plate joinery to join both curved and flat panels Do NOT laminate unstable solid wood (like oak) to a stable, rigid core (like plywood). Cracking will probably result where face material meets edge material. Tip on "hiding" such cracks is suggested. Tip: Strengthen solid-wood curved members by reinforcing with laminations glued into a kerf. Cold-molded cradle. A boatbuilding method is applied to furniture. A laminated-wood cradle is made by applying thin strips of African mahogany veneer over the outside of a wooden mold. Pneumatic laminating. Uniform bent laminations are achieved by clamping with firehouse that has been inflated with air. Advice on the need to use laminations when trying to bend thick (3.5") stock. Tips on preventing the pigment of certain hardwoods from bleeding across laminate lines. Advice on the best direction for grain when gluing two boards face-to-face. Bigger boards from smaller stock. How to create wider and thicker stock using clamps and glue. Forming curves from layers of blocks. Using "bricklaying" techniques to laminate short, curved pieces of wood into large arcs or circular framework. Bent lamination. Accurate forms, thin strips of wood, and the right glue yield flowing curves. How to build sturdy forms, rip strips of wood, apply glue, assemble and clamp. Laminating curves. How a bundle of square-sectioned plies (long sticks all cut from the same blank and reassembled to preserve the original grain pattern) bends easily around almost any curve. Rules of thumb for stock thickness and adhesive when making bent laminations. Making bent lamination molds from router-cut plywood will automatically produce the slightly different curves needed for the inside and outside molds. Strategy for making curved, laminated parts (such as doors or aprons) relies on a vacuum press and reduces the need for lots of clamps and forms. Tip on using Styrofoam insulation material to make a form for laminating veneer into curves. The basics of wood bending. Laminating and kerf bending. How to laminate butcher blocks for use as table tops, cutting boards or shelves. Compass work. Making wood go round the bend. Creating curved carpentry using kerfing and keying, laminating, water and steam bending, etc. Get more mileage from expensive woods by gluing the expensive wood between two pine boards, resawing the good board in half, then planing the resulting laminate down to size. Two woodbending techniques. (1) Kerfing. (2) Laminating in forms. Laminating large woodcarving blocks. Advice on wood characteristics, surface quality, glues, etc. Patchwood. How to make a simple jig and assemble a whole variety of scrap wood pieces (uniformly cut to 3/4" thick) into multicolored sheets of wood. Furniture to grow on. Master cold lamination bending while building this child's table and chair set. Bent lamination techniques for both simple and compound curves. Information on grain direction and regularity. Tips on ripping thin strips, on bending and glue-up. Tip: Salvage warped wood by cutting into strips and laminating together. Most of the warps will cancel out in this process. Laminating and bending wood. Looks at glues, jigs, clamps, alternatives, etc. Tip on using rope "clamps" to hold laminations to a form while gluing. On the construction of "foamcore" telescope parts. How to construct foamcore panels. Foamcore panels consist of wooden stiffeners embedded in and around styrofoam and sandwiched between thin plywood panels. The sandwich is glued together with epoxy. Includes instructions on making a simple vacuum bag "press" to clamp the panel while epoxy cures. Technique of bent lamination described. Working the unbroken ring.

Extensive information on constructing jigs to form bentwood laminations. How to select and prepare wood for laminating. Tip: Use sharpened brads to prevent boards or sheets from slipping when being laminated under pressure. Tip: Pre-form tight laminated curves by soaking wood in hot water and clamping on form (without any glue). Tip suggests substituting drywall screws for clamps when laminating stock to be cut into project parts. Gluing jig helps keep edges aligned as you build a laminated bowl turning blank. How to prevent cracks from forming in wood laminations. Tip on keeping narrow strips in alignment when laminating cutting boards and similiar panels.
