Читать книгу Wood & Steam - Charlie Whinney - Страница 14

This is something to secure the wood into place while you are working. We will be focusing on using wedges to do this task where possible as they are powerful, fast, and inexpensive; however, metal clamps are also invaluable. G-clamps, F-clamps, J-clamps, and good-quality Quick-clamps are all suitable for steam bending. We have two types of metal clamps in our workshop; “good clamps” and “cheap clamps.” The “good clamps” (heavy-duty square-threaded F-clamps, often very expensive) are used for the actual bending/working tasks. The “cheap clamps” (budget G-clamps or Quick-clamps) are used for holding the wood in place only or more light-duty tasks.
