omg at 3:55 it looks like a death trap xD from saw or somethin

@soulvibe2007 Ah I see I misread that, I apologize. I thought you meant cut the curve from solid stock. I agree a band saw will make far less waste. And I fell its safer also. Running thin strips like that through a table saw can sometimes be scary.

Interesting woodworking techniques

@waynelang20011 Uh ? The blades thinner so you get less waste from making the strips.

[waynelang20011]

@soulvibe2007 how does a bandsaw make less waste?? you have to cut this shape from a rectangle. what do you call the off cuts.......waste...

Nice video you almost got it right your still young not quite their yet. You should take a damp cloth or sponge and wipe down your wood strips , just a little damp this will open the grain and the glue will penetrate more and reduce the rebound when the clamps are removed
