  • Thanks for this vid. I used some of your ideas to make my own doolin/venetian bender. it's a bit of a beast, but I wanted to thank you and give you credit.

  • @sjmay77

    Glad to help! I'd love to see any photos/video you have. Being such an uncommon design, I think it's important to share all mutations of this idea...

  • NICE bender.

  • very nice thanks for sharing. Trying to build a mold for an archtop cutaway.

  • A Venetian type is difficult.

    Being possible to constrict returns, and the cut away returns when it tries to bend can constricted, and when the cutter way is bent when bending it by the hand, it tries to make it from the jig because ours was not able to make so good [umaku] though the jig was made.Florence-Type is very easier.It is easy to crack when grain such as the backs and the Hawaiian cores is complicated.
