how long is the wood in the steamer, and how hot is the steam?

Does it works for any wood? I want to test this method on rosewood and teak, which are very hard and oily species

hi there ( S W ) , as I watched yourself " checkin' - out ' your ride , in the garage / driveway . The time stood still ( for me ) as I went back ( a half century + ) when I had similar experience s s s . My heart went out to as I watched the " mayhem unfold " . With ( loosely fitted mechanical connections ) , if at all . Your " prepped body work " getting shunted , by your own undoing . ( SORRY S.W. ) , I could only sit & watch ( been there / done that ) , BUT , " it's that first sign of ( mechanical ) LIFE ! " . It's a childish ? ( dare I say ) verging EXPERIENCE ! That's the sheer joy of creating ( mechanical ) LIFE ! . GOD BLESS YOU , keep - up the great work , from Sydney , Australia ( 05/07/'24 ) C.S.

Please be careful if there is any dried pigeon pooh on the car. It can be fatal if inhaled. Good luck stay safe 👍

Yes fair comment, Fred Dibnah had a bad incident with pigeon mess and infection. I should have worn a mask but I was aware of the dust - the doors had been open before to help air. I do advocate safety gear in my line of work as have seen some nasty consequences. I now have the dilemma as to how to deal with the rust and mess of the vehicle, think I may get it shotblasted.

hi. Could you help me, how long does the wood have to steam, do the pieces break?
@swcreationsАй бұрын
Hi! The wood I used in the video is 2" x 2" soft wood, I steam it for 65 - 70mins and it bends fine. It didn't break but you bend it gradually down as seen towards the end of the video. Thicker wood - so say 4" x 4" - steam for around 2hours. Trial and error sometimes as I did have pieces break on me, don't ever go into a project without spares!! Give it a go - check your set up and temperature. If it breaks try again by changing something - or message me and we can have a think, happy to help.
@michaeld9542 ай бұрын
Can you please show how to put this together
@swcreationsАй бұрын
Hey, sorry I didn't respond earlier - I will see if I've got footage of the full steam set up and upload up. It's a reinforced drainage pipe - that's the steam chamber, one end has the plug that you see me take out in the video, the other end is blocked in a similar way but with the wallpaper steamer pipe leading into it. So instead of the wallpaper steamer attachment, it is just the pipe. The forming bend I made myself and is unique to the angle of bend I wanted.

Interesting , I'm restoring an 18 York , slightly later than yours with great local historical interest and the body and interior were virtually as bad as yours !.You can get a fair amount of mechanical parts including gaskets and Girling brake parts from the Austin 10 Drivers Club.

@@swcreations I’ve got the same issue at the farm shop with the led lights. I was toying with replacing all my workshop lights but I don’t want the same issue at home in the workshop. If I record anything with my phone I find 30 fps doesn’t flicker but if you pan around the footage isn’t smooth, I’d also much prefer to use my camera. I’ve also noticed that not all LED bulbs cause the problem which leads me think that there’s possibly a variance in performance? I’m wondering if there’s a new camera on the market that has a light setting specifically for LED 🧐
@Victorsadventures27742 ай бұрын
@@trevsblog @swcreations Hi I noticed this too. You can try to adjust the Hz record rate on your camera to suit the frequency of your mains power supply. In aus and UK it’s 50hz, so just try that. A lot of devices will default to the US 60hz and can result in flickering. And a cool pop build too !
