Laminating curves

[Chrisroche1992]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone could recommend any books or point me towards any links about laminating wood. Thanks

I remember that some of Tage Frids (Danish woodworker) covered laminating. How basic it is I can't remember.

There are few books on the subject. I have one, but I've not seen it lately, it is probably in a box, never unpacked.
It's by Taunton. Not at all bad, although it doesn't tell me anything I did not already know. It comes with a DVD, which is exactly the same material as in between the covers. If you've read the book you've watched the DVD and vice versa.

I bought mine at one of Peter Sefton's days, IIRC. This is the title:
Vacuum Pressing Made Simple by Darryl Keil

Here are some. I'm just finishing an oval cot bed / crib and did the rails and large end panel curves as bent laminations.

I used cascamite as the glue since I couldn't afford any springback.

Here are a couple articles

A google search for 'bent laminations' or 'laminating wood' will get you many, many results.

Have you a specific project in mind or is this just a general enquiry?

I have done a few projects. I'm just finding it hard to get consistent results. So I just want to see what I am doing wrong
