Thread: how do i bend ply wood

I cannot see what shape you are talking about, all I see is a rectangle with rounded corners

Are you perhaps wanting to make a laminated ply stool type thing? Might be a little complicated as a first lamination project. What sort of school project is it? Why isn't the teacher helping you ?

I believe that they are talking about this type of shape

I could be wrong, but I always thought that sort of shape was made by laminating veneers into a mold, rather that by bending plywood.

Link goes nowhere Splinter.

I'm not joking I promise: buy bendy ply.

It's a special ply with all the laminations going in one direction. Set it where you need it,then coat it with epoxy and it stays where you want it to be.

So do you bend it with the grain going around or sideways?

Bending ply is bent across the grain.

Mick

it bends both ways but you can get tighter curves across the grain

So what is the form ply listed as well?

form ply is very rigid and used to support concrete in place until it sets
