1. Build Your Wood Box
The Steam Generator provides the steam and includes instructions on how to build your own steam box. The Steam Generator builds up steam within the box you created to easily bend wood.
2. Steam the Wood
A general rule to follow is that you should steam the wood for 1 hour per every inch thickness of the wood. So for ½” thick pieces you should allow 30 minutes. The steamer reaches 212°F to quickly soften the wood for bending.
3. Bend the Wood
Steam is a very effective medium for bending wood. Most hardwoods will bend better than softwoods. After the set timeframe, your wood will be perfect for bending into unique shapes!
