How To Fold Wood // Woodworking #carpentry #diy #woodworker #maker #woodworking #wood #handmade

common issue! i hate it when i have to fold wood and it’s stiff as a board

The hour inside a steamer quietly ignored.

Boss: "You better pick out the straightest lumber at Lowe's" Laborer: "you got it, boss!" The lumber at Lowe's:

Now I can straighten all my homedepot lumber. Great tip

Honestly I love it. It's one of those useless items that just don't look right when you see it and you have to talk about it. Leave it on top of whatever other wood stuff you use just to throw people off wondering how it happened

Now I wanna see origami

I asked for a shelf, and got sorcery instead.

This makes me so uncomfortable. It's like trying to read a sign or paper in a dream. My brain knows it's a piece of wood, but for some reason it simply doesn't register. I love it.

Imma be real with you. I can't think of a situation in which I'll ever need to bend wood like that

"Yes new apprentice, go to the store and fetch a board folder. We need it asap" gestures to folded board.

That came out gorgeous

I'll forever be looking forward to the opportunity to use this technique.

I feel like this would be an art piece in a museum and the meaning behind it would be something like “Even if it seems impossible, people can always change with enough effort” or something like that lmao

Excellent dude! This opens up a world of possibilities ❤

I saw the thumbnail without even being able to see the creator and still automatically thought, "What's Josh up to now?" 😂

I’m kind of surprised by some of the more negative comments here. I understand that this isn’t something that will be done on a regular basis, and I’m sure it is more time consuming than most people are willing to commit, but I think it’s beautiful & would add a special focal point to demonstrate the level of artistic craftsmanship dedicated to whatever piece it’s used for. I like it. It’s nice to know that it’s possible, and that with a little bit of trial & error, I might be able to get it right. Thank you for taking the time to quickly walk us through your process, it’s fascinating!

I'd probably ad wood glue with saw dust in the gaps to smooth the side.. because you can see it from the side a bit and for high end woodworking pieces its the kind of thing you need to think and do to be able to sell it a high price

That's pretty gorgeous, I can imagine some great designs using that technique

This is the content I come here for! Well done, man.

So glad someone finally posted this I've searched everywhere for how to safely fold wood 🤔 it's an absolute necessity these days
