🔥 Amazing making this curved joint in wood. Nice woodworking technique

[@billybobbenjamin5343]

you literally just folded wood. incredible.

[@douglasburnsed9507]

Billy Bob Benjamin I can fold wood so easy because it is PAPER thin. Lol

[@inkspill3116]

I think it's pretty neat!

[@Rhettusmc]

You have an impressive number of homemade, very functional, bench mount tools. Great job.

[@Jonathan_bßß]

Nobody can complain about a nice joint...

[@pocket83]

It's great! It's totally impractical, but it made me think. That's the highest praise I can give a KZbin video. Thanks ;)

[@libertarian1637]

It’s not that I practice it works well with plywood you simple leave a ply and use adhesive inside the bend; no boiling though. It works better then round cutting and banding because the plys run vertically instead of horizontally.

[@lilypower]

Could you try to make an evolution of the joint? Maybe go 45 degrees from each end instead of 90 from one side? That should make it a lot more surface area and easier to fit a “spine” in the middle? Hmmm 🤔

[@Professor-Scientist]

@@lilypower im afraid not karl

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

Karl Liljeström I’ve made exactly the same comment elsewhere on this thread, but cutting at 45° the meeting of the 2 end grains match perfectly and would look interesting in for example the end of the arm of a chair, a biscuit or 2 and priming the end grain would probably give the joint enough strength to be practical. The outer thin piece would stop the joint from failing in one direction and a biscuit would straighten it in the other.

[@ThatSpiffingChap]

Impractical as a strong joint but a cool technique if you want a 90° bend in something and both the other ends are strongly secured.

[@JimmyB643]

Sometimes the quest is more important than the destination. 😉 Nice Job!

[@stacy3633]

I like your bandsaw and disk sander..👍👍

[@nolimeplease]

I love the brute honesty: “ I don’t know if this is a useful joint” 😂😂😂

[@caminoprojectUS]

Incorporating a biscuit would help it maybe?

[@master6435]

More usefull in wielding

[@speakupriseup4549]

The answer he's looking for is no.

[@silencionomus]

I can see this being used for a really high-end piece with a nice grain that you don’t want interrupted with joins.

[@aleksandersuur9475]

Any idea can be useful in a specific enough situation, but there can't be many cases this specific one would be good to use. Almost in every case you would be better off achieving the same thing by lining the edge with a strip of thin wood. That way you can have whatever type of joint under it and construct the underlying frame/plate whatever in any way you like.

[@joeymerrell8585]

Next time use the steam in a raised area over the water. It will bend right in place. Still have to watch for cracking of course. It’s a decorative joint, not a structural one.

Curved joints usually come from my pocket.

Came here because of a youtube recommendation. One of the more interesting woodwork videos i have seen in a while, and i will be making your sander

[@MrRadko75]

Fantastic job 🙏

[@IsaKocoglu]

Recently, I saw a metalworker bend a square profile pipe like this. Very interesting to see it adapted to wood as well! Thank you for another terrific show of craftsmanship.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much. I couldn't resist to try this in wood 😄

[@IsaKocoglu]

Rest assured that you did a fantastic rendition of it, my friend! Congratulations on it. 👌😉👍

[@manfredpalla161]

Well done! 👍❤️😎

[@gwauk205]

Interesting mate, thank you 👍

[@anyeos]

If there are some to admire is the tools that he have developed. They are great tools made from standard ones like drill and electric jigsaw.

[@joshpring1]

You should combine it with a dovetail. Like when you fold it together, the 2 halves slot into each other.

[@aaronv251]

Wood working seems therapeutic. Watching vids like this is relaxing especially living in today's world. Greetings from the US!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Well done!

[@douglasascencio9140]

I spent the whole video thinking what I would use this technique for but it is as you say, you had to make it to see the results and I'm glad you made the video. Great job :)

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much Douglas. I will make a better version that sure will be more useful in woodworking 😀

[@kylemeier4]

Haha, dude, this was really cool! I kinda want to try it now. Imagine trying to make a square box, with four corners... That would be hard.

[@ethanmarlow2630]

I was imagining someone getting their house trim done like this. All the windows and doors.

[@morningstoke]

@@ethanmarlow2630 Pretty sweet idea. I could see that working well in a modern minimalist home.

[@lefroy1]

Imagine trying to make a sqaure WITHOUT 4 corners then, that would be impossible!

[@kyleolin3566]

Look into the Haida Bentwood box. The Haida are Indigenous to the West coast of Canada and this is how they have traditionally made their boxes.

[@johndough1966]

I've seen this technique used on metalwork tubing/piping etc before, but never even thought to use it in wood joinery.

[@FrozenLionsFan]

I was about to say the same thing, it’s clever for sure but kinda impractical for woodworking

[@AltynbekTuraliev]

Почти все иснтрументы сделаны своими руками)) отлично

[@BlankDeckSkater70]

I saw an exact video of this but with welders and metal, and this joint is effective with metal.

You should have a TV show mate, actually genius & great viewing. Who invents their own joints....? Brilliant.

[@markduggan3451]

I really like that joint.

[@jeffreygraham4058]

Ok at first I was asking my self why go through all that work for that but now that is is done I like it would make a nice corner for a table or something thanks 😊

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you Jeffrey 😄. I will make a second version that will look even more nice 😄

[@antoniocampos8896]

Looks like a simple project but enough to show how smart you are,nice video, congratulations,Antonio Campos.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much Antonio 😀

[@william474]

Fantastic video. Great job

[@hansdegroot8549]

Very interesting joint. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@lenonkitchens7727]

Well, as others have mentioned, all of the glue surface is endgrain, so this thing will pop apart at the slightest provocation. It *is* an interesting joint though. Maybe if there was a spline along the two mating flat surfaces it would have the strength necessary to be useful. That being said, sometimes doing something that isn't useful just for the sake of doing it is worthwhile. It's a *really* cool joint, useful or not.

[@tdd4art]

a small bow tie

[@speakupriseup4549]

Exactly right, no structural integrity, but a better way to kill a few hours than watching tv.

[@bill7646]

Holy crap! Give the guy a break and use your imagination!! A simple dowel or 2 would make it super strong. Plus if it's used as an arm for a chair the structure of the chair will help keep it from coming apart and will probably be stronger and stay together longer than most chair arm joints. Great video!

[@lenonkitchens7727]

@@bill7646 Furthermore, I don't know if you watched the video until the very end, but he said, "I don't know if this is a useful joint." That's what I was responding to. He implicitly *asked* for comments on how the joint might be useful as is, or might be made useful.

[@TravisFabel]

@@bill7646 a dowel won't work because you won't be able to bend it into the piece... However a biscuit could be made to work. It still won't be as strong as a standard joint, but it can be useful for some small things.

[@jefflindeman]

That could definitely look cool and the arms of a patio chair - particularly with a very striped-grain wood such as fir.

[@gunnersmate7482]

What an interesting technique! Thanks for sharing

[@gyathan8516]

So useful thank you for help us with your time bro 👍

[@roddypryce454]

I was taught only to use a pencil to mark wood never use pen as the ink goes into the fibres and is difficult to remove.

[@johnmartinez9220]

Different tools have different applications.

[@roddypryce454]

John Martinez I don’t understand what you mean.

[@The_Chupacabra1]

I mean he did boil the board afterward 😁

[@johnmartinez9220]

Well you can use a marking knife for fine woodworking, or maybe an exacto knife, or various thickness mechanical pencils such as .5 .7 etc. or if you're milling you can use a lumber crayon, or sharpie and a pen works if you're still in the rough phase. I'm no expert but there are several videos on this topic. I personally mark with a pencil especially on plywood because you can't sand too far down, but "only" is a very strong word and different tools have different applications. One video I just saw the guy mentions that a pencil mark can smudge into the grain fibers while a pen mark comes off cleanly while sanding. I guess at the end of the day it's all personal preference.

[@roddypryce454]

John Martinez Wow!

Magnifique technique !! 😉

[@blaisepascal5729]

omg give this man an oscar, you're genious sir i love your channel, i cant wait to see more videos of yours

[@warrenfrost5382]

Great proof of concept. Possible application, in my mind, would be keep the thin part, but make it longer, then cut a piece out of the second piece of wood so you could bend it round like a venere and glue on. might be less involved, but get similar results?

[@kb3svj]

I just stumbled upon your video. IT is a very creative way of wrapping the wood onto itself. Thanks for the useful tip.

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

[@cricket6009]

Brilliant 👏👏👏

[@kessler0815]

Good work 👍

[@sampickett3843]

Very interesting that you figured out a way to add a lamination to a joint (to hide the end grain) and have the lamination integral to the joint. I bet the joint has good strength. Loved the video.

[@andygodfrey76]

Tip, add sawdust from the workpiece to white wood glue to use as filler.

It's useful, I've used it many times. No joins around the end grain area, looks great. I use a pocket screw to reinforce the joint.

[@alanherrera5421]

Wooden bend for with no structural support...for a good finish in the corner looks fantastic...

[@aayaaygidins6542]

if you look through the book “cedar” by hilary stewart....u will see native americans along the pacific northwest coast made bentwood boxes like this.....just thought i would let ya know

[@twoweary]

You could also add a hidden spline if you needed some more strength . Great job !

[@leedavis7508]

Clever.

[@richardpalmer6196]

Nicely done ! The idea of a chair arm was on my mind just before you had put that up . Maybe drilling on an angle and installing a dowel to strengthen the joint ?More important to me is the blade guides you have on your saw . An absolutely great idea l am going to add to my saw . Thank you .
