I havent put much effort into the blog of late, but shall try to be a bit more regular with it... recently I have been bowl turning on the pole lathe, shaving chair parts and finishing two more yurts, well Gers, actually, as they are straight roof rods and laminated crowns, and not steam bent. Both are looking good... need to post some pictures though as thats much more interesting...

Steam bending yurt crown rings




I´ve been making bentwood yurt crowns from some local ash logs this week. one is a 1m diameter for a 4.5m yurt, the other is a small 75cm crown, for a 3m kirgis style yurt. need to dry then be smoothed and morticed for the roof rods. steam bending worked out nicely, but will sort out the formers to accept wedges which will make the clamping procedure easier for working alone.
