Читать книгу Wood & Steam - Charlie Whinney - Страница 17

An object that does some useful work, for example something to bend the hot wood over to give you a particular sized bend. In steam bending, a wide variety of familiar objects (e.g., cups, car tires, pots, pillars, etc.) can temporarily become “jigs” to bend wood over, and wooden and metal forms are often specially made for specific tasks. If you can imagine a piece of finished work which “could” exist, the design of the jig (or what you use to help you make the work happen) is a result of working backwards to do whatever is needed to make this possible. Jigs come in all shapes and sizes. They are used for bending, twisting, and clamping wood in steam bending. Some trial and error is normally required to get it right!
