This shelf is gorgeous! What an awesome design 💛

[@nicgurkweitz389]

There's so many applications for this. Thank you for the video. You did amazingly!

[@drumfanatik316]

That was amazing and seemed a lot more simple than I imagined!

[@gafakyusef6201]

Beautiful. Well done. I'd love to do that, but larger.

[@meganar]

Absolutely beautiful, simple, stylish! and amazed how easy it was to do!

[@tubularap]

Beautiful result, pleasantly filmed. Thanks for the satisfying watch.

[@UmamiPapi]

This is amazing! I'd love to make one.

[@jessicatomato6919]

That's beautiful. Wow. Stunning. I appreciate your patience!! I need more 😉

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

True well done!

[@HandyBear]

It's very satisfying to see everything coming together so cleanly. No gaps in the bends neither 👍

[@aserta]

Having a pre-pass with a smaller bit would reduce chances of breakage for this. Essentially letting it just finish the V cut rather than making it. So prolly a 2 mm bit with a 2 cm depth pass (guesstimating by eye). You don't really need to dump all that water on it. Stea... borrow a clothes iron, max it out and set it on steam. Through a piece of thin fabric (pillow case, perfect for this) steam the visible face of the wood. The steam will make the bend super easy. You can even use this technique to bend thin wood without any slits. I think the thickest i've tried using a regular Bosch clothes iron was 4 mm, beautiful, no creak or fiber split, worked great. The best part about using steam and therefore steam, you're not messing too much with the wood by adding water. Soaking the wood in excess water will activate its pores and that can have a bad effect later, depending on your luck. It's not uncommon to see a waterlogged piece of wood, like for example when they're boil bent, split or have the raised fibers that you have to sand again.

Brilliant!

[@schlenbea]

Love this idea!!

[@santoshwhy2943]

That's beautiful & amazing looking thing

[@MauriceScheurer]

Amazing ! Congratulations !

[@MesaOracle]

That is a fantastic looking shelf!

[@freedomforever6718]

Very unique and beautiful.

[@christyj24]

Beautiful

[@PetrasL_1976]

Amazing and great idea! It is a pleasure to see how clean you are working. Looks like not even a single extra movement :) Nice shelf!

[@Feledwards]

Amazing job!

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Bro, that is AWESOME. Top design.

[@SGuilarducci]

Excelente 👍🏻

[@psyolent.]

thats awesome as! good work!

[@user-vd2xe3tw1o]

great job

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing, dude! Beautiful work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@GauravGupta-so2kt]

Good job bro

[@rgriff000]

I just had a vision of turning that into a sound bar for my TV. Thanks for the inspiration

[@trick384]

This was my idea as well. A low shelf to set my soundbar on below my wall mounted TV.

[@user-dn3hv9gl3e]

Очень круто!

[@JunaidKhan-ub4es]

Good

[@pauloandrade1925]

Muito bom, parabéns . Qual a fresa que você usou?

[@ndukuhiram6537]

Amazing idea.... Please where can i buy the bit... Any online store link

[@user-wx6oh5yk1p]

ю вери гуд мастер ,👍😁

[@DrifterSpirit9]

Great job dude!What kind of wood would be ok for this kind of things?

[@J.C...]

Tamar at 3x3 Custom needs to see this.

[@user-cb5wv4xo9j]

Отлично!

[@jsnthurst1]

Did you calculate the angle of the kerf cutting bit, factoring in the thickness of the wood and the inside and outside radius and determine the number of kerfs or did it just work out?

[@carloshnunez]

Wow very nice job 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍✔️✔️✔️😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵

[@JackBlack444]

Can you do this with oak wood? Looks awesome

[@GreenmanWood]

I'll be the latest to ask for a link to the bit, please!

[@mxdadNZ]

Hi, can you clarify the spacing please BTW great job!

[@dizzolve]

I'd like to see if you could use this method to create a more continuous curve without the ridges bulging through the veneer. I love this idea though and your shelf looks excellent ~maybe if you left more meat in the root of those cuts you could sand the peaks on the other side with fear of sanding through. Be tougher to bend for sure but it looks like you had little trouble bending your 1mm or so

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Yeah, I imagine you could use a hair dryer and it would bend at thicker than 1mm.

[@ThisOldChris]

Do you have a link for the bit?

[@kimsutlive7812]

Someone questioned before but do you have a link for this bit?

[@syedhareez]

So satisfying. What wood did you use to make the bend?

[@milosgrujic9118]

Can you explain a bit how do you calculate number of those cuts for bending and is it spiral bit necessary for bending? Thanks!

[@Y4k407]

Great video tutorial, one question how do you work out the bend radius?

[@schlenbea]

Take a depth measurement to see where the widest part of the bit with be, then measure the bit width there. You can then estimate how much it will close. Obviously the thicker the piece, the more cuts that will be required.

[@RalphVB]

It looks amazing. Wonder how long it before it snaps though. 1mm is not a whole lot to keep it together. Don't know how much that wood works, or how that glue stands the test of time, but it just seems that way.

[@trick384]

I think the veneer is merely assisting the glue up in this case. If I were to make a guess, the curved surface would be as strong as any other wood joint.

[@arcadebuilder533]

What method was used to fashion to wall???

[@DigitalArchmage]

you should put an amazon afiliate link to that router bit (and router? may as well)

[@benbrotheridge2529]

Where did you get the router bit from please?

[@---fl3ol]

Where could you find this bit? Any suggestions?

[@luqmaanparakh8744]

👍

[@jsnthurst1]

I think heat might have been better than water

[@amitbuch]

Very beautiful but structurally pretty weak. Can you test how much load it can hold on the flat top ?

[@spencerduff5269]

What’s the total length of the board?

[@frikkiesmit327]

Naaaah. Good content that im subbed to and no new recommendations from youtube?! Gona let your videos autoplay for a while hopefully we can bump your numbers up.

[@leahannwhite1111]

😳💕

[@nope2075]

I just got a cat and want to do this for cat shelves bc it looks very nice and unique. I hate most of the cat furniture on the market.

[@eddymack8568]

What is the total length of board?

[@chrismcg7856]

I think that must be a 6 degree bit (12 degree for each pass) not 8 to get a 180 degree bend with 15 cuts. Yeah?

[@modrobert]

It's 16 cuts.

[@wiradimuksa4841]

pakai kayu apa pak?

[@VitoKornelius]

Друже, а под другой радиус другую фрезу?

[@Pyrotek28]

Skill saw will do the same ...

[@JARMade]

Imitation is the highest form of flattery

[@adamharika269]

I seen it in your channel, you are the first to use this technique, you have my respect 👍

[@user-wg5tx3xi5d]

I thank the space between every two successive cuts is 1.6 cm , not 1.6 mm as you saying !!! Correct it in the comments because this will ruin the work of anyone will try it !!!!

[@diywithgreg]

You literally copied this video from one of my buddies JarMade. Your a fake! Get your own content!

[@BINKSTARZZZ]

What is that thing called you used for cutting?

[@DMTRVK]

Great job! But I’ve better added some fixtures besides the glue in the seam, so it’s more solid.

[@luqmaanparakh8744]
