    Had a very frustrating morning, sat down to eat, decided to see if anything good on CZcams (but didn’t expect much), and there’s a video from André! Like a cool refreshing breeze. Just what I needed. The click when you fit in the curved plywood was so satisfying, especially after you had to keep re-steaming it.

Hope you enjoy the great weather Unfortunately I have limited "old people income" so I can't become a member. Great job. Enjoy. Hugs to you and Laslo and friends.

  • @Chrisb8s
    @Chrisb8s Před rokem +6

    I think the super tightness on the arch was due to the thickness of the plywood vs the tape. On the inside of the arch it would be a little less distance. Just a little. Looks great. Love your hard work

    nice job. When I was a house-painter we used Glazier's putty(for window edges) putty to fill nail holes, etc before painting. Easy to work with. I think the door frame would look very good if you used it in between all of the wood trim pieces especially the archway, and a nice coat of paint to match the doors. Thanks!

    I remember when I was in 2nd grade, we were taught how to measure contours and curves with string, but gravity isn't exactly your friend in this case, so using tape was brilliant.
    As for the arch, I would have just cut the panel into about 2" or about 5cm strips and just layed them inside the arch beside each other. The cutting would be more work, but that's no problem when you setup a block along the chopsaw fence so that they all cut equally.

    Stay safe and stay healthy your own selves, our friends. It was a marvel to see how you created the steam chamber and finaggled til it worked. I restored a stone historical Italianate Villa with a curved arched entrance and the next door to the hall . I could see how the one piece of pretty thick wood was cut almost like fabric to pleat the curve into this rounded bent shape. Hard to explain and several years ago, but realized it was not steam bent but very dramatic on the 12 foot ceilinged space. Thank you for your lesson in reasoning and patience. Feel better.
