Can I Build a Corset Entirely of Wood?

I heard some jokes about a wooden tshirt contest... but didn't get the memo it was a joke. Since I had some scraps lying around from building a canoe (that video is coming out later this month!) I figured I'd give corset making a try! Pretty funny though, considering I don't know how to sew. Also, I've never cosplayed. Or been to a renfair. Or played DnD. But, here we are!

There is historical precedent for wooden armor. It stood up well to bone/stone weapons, but wouldn't stand up to metal weapons as well and could be a fire hazard. But it existed and was functional

[@dalentoews3418]

@@paigeabern9224 in the right situations wood has great fire resistance and low thermal conductivity. Cork was considered for heat shielding for the appollo program.

[@cykeok3525]

If bladed weapons were involved, wood armor would be better than no armor. People with no armor fare horribly against blades. A lot of people automatically assume that anyone wearing armor will just stand still and let you pound on them. No, they'll be moving around and defending themselves as normal. It's just that human bodies are squishy, and an unarmored person will be seriously wounded by even light blows from weapons that manage to land, whereas an armored person wouldn't be.

So over half a million people have seen this video. I never knew before today that I needed to know how build a wooden corsett. I couldn't resist the canoe build and paddle build. Go figure.

[@abrannan]

Those strips, while being the right size for a canoe, are probably twice as thick as they should be for a corset. Which you seemed to discover when you hit the sides of the top. With a thinner strip, you can bend it the way luthiers bend the sides of an acoustic guitar; spray with water and rub the strip over a piece of pipe being heated from inside by a blowtorch until it softens, then clamp in place.

[@stevenhillhouse6634]

She might not have had access to a table saw or (good) thickness planer. Still, it does seem like an engineering/design oversight.

[@ollimoore]

That’s true, certainly bending the strips would’ve been a lot easier this way. However this is a much weaker wood than those used in acoustic guitar sides, and there aren’t any exposed and unsupported edges (at these thicknesses) on an acoustic guitar body like there are on this design. She could’ve tried using water and a bending iron as you describe even with the greater thickness, otherwise under these specific circumstances I think she probably made the right choice.

Another means of doing getting a body form is: wrap whole body with duct tape (on top of sacrificial clothing. Cuto off and stuff the body cavity with foam. Fix with wire due to soft-body physics. But given the needs of stripping, your approach may be easier.

[@kd5nrh]

More permanent is to use several just-too-small cotton t-shirts and layer them on, coating each with plaster and letting it set before putting on the next one. Then cut it off in 2-4 pieces and make a concrete positive. That pretty much requires two people, though, since the model needs to be really still through all the set time, and won't be able to safely saw off the casting. A good coating of vaseline or similar on all the skin that will be in contact is also recommended, as well as making sure there's no hair to get caught in the plaster. Obviously, choose your assistant wisely, as this whole process is going to be rather intimate, to say the least: you're going to want them to help with the shaving and greasing, as well as smoothing on the plaster and cutting the mold off afterward.

If you want to do a good and simple measurement, wear one of your older, tight fitting shirts and then use a stronger non elastic duct tape and cover the section of your body where your corset should be when applied as tight as comfortable for you. Then use a blunt ended first aid scissor and cut your tape covered Shirt from armpit to hipbone on both sides. Afterwards you can cut those halves in further parts when you need patterns to get it transfered to your wood. You should have toned your mid section a little. Would have suited you well :D
