    Really love to see you fail forward instead of pretending like everything is going to plan from the get-go. Nothing ever goes that way in reality, and I think you are teaching a really important lesson in trying to see your 'failures' as learning opportunities. This is probably my favourite build of yours so far.

  • @TheVirakahScale

    It's a good idea to bend it more than you need, so around a smaller circle. That way it springs back closer to what you need.

  • @MassGradingTeacher
    @MassGradingTeacher Před rokem +11

    That steam-bending portion of the video was thoroughly entertaining. Really cool to see you working through the problems.

  • @MycobraII
    @MycobraII Před rokem +30

    I find it very satisfying that your tool level is the same as mine, there's nothing worse than watching someone build something with a room full of tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools. Plus I like how you showed the true struggle on learning on the fly and the mistakes that come with it. Love your work, keep it up!

  • @ryandury
    @ryandury Před rokem +50

    Love your determination here, that steam bending was probably so frustrating. I've dabbled in steam bending myself, when I built my cedar strip canoe. Those pieces of wood looked really thick for bending. Next time I would suggest doing a bent lamination where you work with much thinner strips, steam them, dry fit/clamp and then glue them together the following day. In any case I'm so impressed with your ability to turn a pallet into a nice looking table. Legs look very cool. Cheers!

      If I was using wood that thick for the border, I would have made it into "wobble" board. lots of very thin kerfs cut on the inside of the wood. When bent, the gaps close and mostly vanish. Mind you, I just dabble with woodwork.

    good job morley. You definitely show weakness in many places with woodworking, but the fact that you persevere proves that you WILL learn the best techniques for the future. I love it. Next time I recommend making a 5 minute model 3d printable jig for your screw holes for the end of the steam bent wood that will make all of the screw holes of even distance from the bottom of the board. You can also predrill the hole while the piece is still flat so you can space them evenly.

    One challenge I didn't talk about in the video - this leg design results in an un-level surface, because one of the three legs is offset from the middle of the other two. I ended up modeling an "as-built" of the legs in Fusion 360 to figure out how much I had to chop off of one of the legs (it was 5 inches). There's probably an easier way to figure this out, but that's just how my mind works!
