Bending wood for furniture...tips, tricks and techniques.
Bent Wood Table // Bent Lamination // Dining Table… In this video, I decide to bend some wood. There are various ways to accomplish bent lamination, such as steam bending, kerf cutting or the method I used which is to cut a series of thin wood laminations to bend around a form and glue them all together. It's a time consuming task, but well worth the effort. A bent lamination detail adds nice visual interest and can really enhance the appeal and value of a piece of furniture. It opens up a whole new design aesthetic to incorporate into your furniture designs. I'm certainly NOT an expert, but I think I learned quite a bit on this project to help me on any future projects that will require bending lamination to give a bent wood look. Well, I probably learned even more because I had to build it TWICE!! Stay tuned to the end of the video to find out why I had to build two tables. #bentwoodtable #bentlamination #kjsawdust #bendingwood

Good job. No annoying background music, excellent presentation, clear instructions and remarkable workmanship
Thank you very much!
Ditto "...no annoying background music..." Awesome video.
That's what I'm talking about!!! You are the champion of woodworking videos with that kind of narrative!!!))) Thanks for the art of both woodworking and narration!!?
Wow, thanks! You da man, Viktar!! 🙌 🍻
The craftsmanship on this is just astounding. This isn't just a piece of furniture this is a work of art. Most people will sit at that table and never have any clue how much skill, knowledge, and hard work went into building that.
Thank you SO much, Matthew! Yeah, lots of blood, sweat (and a few tears 😬😜), but lots of experience gained as well! 👍
As a hobby carpenter, I have soooo much appreciation for the amount of work it takes to put these things together. It's the type of thing I would buy because I know I don't have the time around homeschooling and raising kids to go do while my husband works.
Beautiful.

Damn Son, that was amazing. Hopefully your clients appreciate your craftsmanship. You are an inspiration.
Thanks so much!! That means a lot 👊
You, sir, do exceptional work, and your humor is relatable and on point. Well done.
Thank you kindly, Joe!! That means a great deal. 🙏👊
I am very glad that you decided to restart your youtube journey. I love the way you add a little humor to your vids. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the kind words and for following along! More to come! 👍
I’m an experienced woodworker and have made many laminated forms as well as steamed. I have nothing but praise for your methodology; it’s exactly how my processes have evolved. It was quite late on that you confirmed that your walnut was air dried - that’s quite important as kiln dried timber can/usually does take bends and steaming quite differently. Separately to the methodology is the design. That’s very personal but I, personally, think your base is very elegant. Sturdy but not chunky. To my eyes. I’d have that in my house. Good clear guidelines so that people can quite easily follow your process.
Thank you very much, Martin! I appreciate the thoughtful comments. And yes, I always try to go kiln-dried when possible, especially with walnut.
How do you know if the wood you're getting is air dried or kiln dried?
This was another amazing build! I can't believe you had to make 2 of them. Way to not let that get you down though!
Thanks Spenser!! Had to pull up those proverbial bootstraps and get it done! 😜
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Did you get to keep the second one for a fancy kitty scratching post? :-P
Corathor 🤣😹 They prefer to destroy things with fabric.
Keith, this build is absolutely gorgeous!! The wood-bending is what brought me to this video. It would be awesome if you could do a tutorial on making a reusable form/mold for extra large, round and tapered concrete planters. I only find videos on planter molds that are squared or rectangular.
THanks so much, Jessica! And thanks for the idea! That's probably something that would need to be build from melamine to help with an easy release of the concrete.
A true master makes their craft seem easy. Somehow this appeared to be a breeze to fabricate…you’re a genuine virtuoso.
🙏🏻👍🏻😎
Another CLASSIC from the great KJ! Thanks for sharing with us man! LOVE IT!
Thanks bro!! Always appreciate the support! 👊🏻
Another great work!! You know what! Your video clips have made me feel impressed a lot! Thanks for having me watch your marvellous work.
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it!!
Damn, I thought I was a good craftsmen... Beautiful work Keith!
Thanks so much, Brian!!
EJ. I. ,
Another great video! 👍🏻 I had to do some bending for a dining room table I just built! Had to bend the apron! Did it about the same way you did but didn’t soak the wood! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Wow, a bent apron for a round table sounds like a nice challenge, too! 💪
Incredible amount of work for a beautiful piece. I see so much antique hand made furniture being practically given away in my town. Non craftsmen will never appreciate how much effort goes into making these pieces.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words. And these videos only capture a fraction of the work involved.
Your videos are so well rounded with so many different techniques. It’s just a good time watching them with a beverage in hand.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, what a spectacular piece of work! Loving it so much and I am addicted to your videos. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Kyle!! So glad you are enjoying the vids! 👍🏻👊🏻
I don't know anything, but with how beautiful that center and bent wood looks, I almost would want clear acrylic, so I could see the workmanship below, nice job.
Thanks so much! And I’m with you! A nice piece of glass would look pretty cool 😎
Oooo.

As a young man around 40 years ago my father took me to a local lumber jack and horse show in the hills of Appalachia Kentucky. That was when I was introduced to wood turning. It was a treadle style wood lathe with a sapling as in your video. The craftsman was building tables and chairs all from hand tools starting with logs he used no nails, screws, or glue. We watched for hours! I was very impressed! Thank you for reminding me of a great day with my Dad.
Thanks for sharing your story! Sounds you have a lot of wonderful memories to look back on 😊
What am I doing without subscribing to this channel? Man, you make it seem so easy!!! One of the best wood working channels!!
Too kind!! Thanks so much!! 🙏🙌
Out standing Job you have Inspired me to start working on Wood again just as soon as I'm able too. Keep the Videos coming.
That is so fantastic to hear!! All the best, my friend 🙏👍
Hey Keith today am uploading a video on wood bending, may be you can watch it and advice me better plz
Nice 😊😊🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Nice work and design. Also, impressive looking laminations and grain matching on the centre post too. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David
Thank you David!! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment and kind words. Cheers to you as well! 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I love the mood of your videos: professional and funny at the same time. Cheers from Brazil!
Many thanks! Glad you like them!! Cheers!
Great video. Amazing craftsmanship!! I appreciate that you gave tips/tricks without being condescending. You showed off your skills, but without bragging.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the feedback as well. That means a lot. 🙏

Love the 4 paw inspection your assistant gives your work. I can hear the thought process. "This material would make a very nice box for me to sit in, but I guess it looks ok as a table too."
😹 They 4-paw inspection is key!!
I can only imagine the satisfaction of that completed table only to have to do another one! Great job on both!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks Keith, elegant work. Thanks for sharing your methods, techniques and overall design.
Very welcome! Thank YOU for watching and the kind words. 🙏👊
Table looks fantastic. I've been on the fence about bent wood projects until now.
Thanks Gavin!! It’s definitely a methodical process and things can still go awry, but glad to hear you are ready to give it a go. Good luck!
Just remarkable and outstanding workmanship. Every one of your calculated methods speak loudly of how great of a craftmanship you are.
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate the kind words 🙏
This channel is amazing! Excited to see more of your work :)
Thank you so much! More to come!! 👍 🙌
Just amazing! Thanks for sharing your projects! Please don't stop :)
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome work. And finally a table without a ton of epoxy!
Thank you! If you see an epoxy pour on this channel, then I've officially sold out 😜
Increíble trabajo, trabajas con una precisión impresionante, tus máquinas son geniales..... Un saludo desde Mexico!!
Gracias!! 👍 🙌
The quick grip clamps were probably the coolest thing about this whole project. Okay, and the cool toys this guy has, and okay he's got a sense of humor too, and...
😂 Much appreciated, Thomas! 👍
That is amazing! As a very new (but old - 55yrs) woodworker, I find videos like this very inspiring Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark! I greatly appreciate the kind words - glad you liked the video. Cheers!
Got you beat! 63 and just starting out. Need to make a little extra cash these days!
Just amazing! Thanks for sharing your projects! Please don't stop :). What beautiful craftsmanship! fantastic job on that piece ! .
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻😁
as always, this was freaking AWESOME!!
THANK YOU!! 🙌🏻
Simply stunning and an enthralling video, to be a great craftsman and entertaining must be a lot harder than it looks. Thank you KZhead, you certainly got this recommendation spot on and I’ve subscribed.

Thank you!! And yes, that sounds like it would be a very unique table 👍
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "free christmas wood craft projects" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Yanathew Wood Waggler - (should be on google have a look )? It is an awesome one off product for building amazing sheds and your own wood work projects without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.
Watching this "again"...learning so much. I have to try and make one of these tables but with either mahogany or walnut as you did and will attempt to make a table top out of either wood.
Fantastic!! Good luck and have fun!
What a remarkable piece! 👌 U make it look and sound so easy. Thanks for all the tips n tricks in this video.
Thanks a lot 😊. Glad you found some helpful tips in there!
Really nice piece of work. Good for you for not losing your mind when the customer decided it was not what they wanted.
Thanks Andre! Gotta be professional 😜
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworkingwell I hope you got paid for it and didn't eat it.
This was so relatable to woodcrafters. The frustration, risky cutting, and quality humor.
Thanks man! And oh yes, all those issues are all too common. I just hope to reduce them as much as possible 😬😂
This is amazing! New woodworker here. I hope to someday start making stuff as beautiful as this
Thanks man!! Best of luck on your woodworking journey 👍
Absolutely amazing work. Great job. Thanks for the great step by step.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it 🙏🏻👍🏻
It doesn't get any better than this, great workmanship
Thanks Celal! That's really kind of you. 🙏
Tradesman to tradesman I really hope that client didn't ask for a deal on the "revised" size. Thanks for the effort you put into this video man, the bits of information I pick up watching stuff like this is very appreciated.
Thanks for watching and the kind words! And the first one is up for sale. I'm trying to help them out. 👍 #karma

He got paid twice im sure. Wasnt his fault
Educational and entertaining as always! Awesome job Keith!
Thanks so much! Another successful Rubio application! 😜👊
I could watch you all day, and I wouldn't get tired. Excellent Skills you have demonstrated !
Wow, thanks! I super appreciate that! 🙏👊
That is certainly a beautiful table. So well built and explained. It also brings back memories for me because the bending process was similar to what I did about 20 years ago. A friend of mine taxied his homeuilt aircraft into the side of a hangar door. The rounded wingtip was crushed. He and I made a template from the opposite wing and flipped it over to make a pattern. We used Sitka Spruce cutting 1/8 strips. It turned out beautifully. Of course it was not as thick as yours and the curve was not as acute, but after planing, sanding and recovering, the tip was perfect. He was flying again in short order. Thanks for your video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for watching and telling your story! Bent lamination provides so many possibilities!
Wow. Fantastic work & attention to detail! Thanks for explaining and showing your process.
Thanks for watching, Ben! Glad it was helpful.
Fast and efficient presentation with a little humor thrown in - really good job
Thanks a lot! 👍🏻
Dude, that was amazing. Beautiful craftsmanship !!! I hope your family enjoys that table for hundreds of years to come.
Thanks so much!!! I super appreciate that! 🙏👊
What a beautiful piece! I'm a newbie and this gives me something to aspire to. And your cat is gorgeous!!
Thank you so much, Laura! And welcome to the craft! 😺👍
Subscribed because of the cat. Also what happens to the too tall table?
@@zombieno1 Thanks very much. The other table was sold.
Watching this helped me to figure out how to do the back of my steamboat wood surface. Great looking table!
Oh awesome! Glad it was useful. And thanks for the kind words! 👊🏻
Finally made it around to watching this video after hearing about it on the Shop Sounds podcast almost a month ago. Love the table and watching the build.
Awesome! Thank you! And thanks for listening to the podcast - we super appreciate the support!👊
New sub here, I love your video! Can’t wait to binge some more. Where have you been all my woodworking life?

Awesome! Thank you Dave!! More videos on the way!!
Finally!!!!!! Great work as always my friend. This was fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you so much!! 🙏🙌
Oh man, I wish you could be my woodwork teacher! Wonderful work, congrats.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent work, gorgeous base. I wonder if you can make a video every week, it's really satisfying to see how your jobs turn out and how you fix your mistakes. Many carpenters often hide errors in their videos. So go ahead and great success from the UK.
Thanks so much, Tony! I would love to make a video per week, but unfortunately I don't work that fast and filming extends the length of a project almost 3-fold, so there isn't always time in the schedule to film every project.
perfect woodwork, the result is a piece of art :) (after watching several other channels this is a breeze to watch, there wasn't a single moment where i thought "oh no, better don't do it this way", kudos for that)
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and the comment. I appreciate the feedback! 👍

Whoaa...black walnut really is beautiful...and your work is amazing. Good supervision Mr. Cat!
Thank you very much! 🙏👍
That is a great looking table base. I hope you charged your clients for each base you made since it was built to the agreed upon measurements.
Thanks Joe!! Things always have a way of working themselves out 👍
“A stack of plywood goodness”. 🤣😂 Great vid!!

Hi. I am a wood-technician, that works in a firm which makes furniture, and I must say you are the first woodworker on KZhead that I would consider professional. Your work is great, detailed and precise. You don't use hobby solutions for joints and details, you use something similar to what woodworking firms use. So great work and carry on making great projects.
Wow, thanks! Your kind words are very much appreciated! Have a great day!
There a thousand woodworkers on KZhead who do nothing but crazy joinery and sound furniture building. I find it hard to believe this is the only channel you would consider professional..
@Steven James Porter I don't watch many woodworking youtubers. And he really was the 1st I would consider professional. Of course there are others that are also professionals, but he is just the first one of the ones I watched. P.S: Making crazy joints doesn't mean your a professional woodworker. It's the way you make them and the techniques you use, and many KZhead woodworkers lake those qualities.
@@StevenJamesPorter - Interestingly enough I actually have to agree with Andrej. There are a lot of “content creators” who use wood to make KZhead content, but who aren’t professionals. Professionals are focused on design, efficiency, and customer focused final product. Most of the other wood workers are selling 10,000 chairs to 10,000 hobbyists, where Keith is sharing his contracted work with the audience.
Thats amazing, your an amazing teacher for the trade. Kudos to you and best wishes
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻👍🏻😁
Fantastic watch & commentary. Can’t believe this channel have only 65k subscribers. Keep going & it’s gonna increase time over 1 million soon
Thanks a ton! Super appreciate that!!
It's probably just cuz I'm pretty high, but I'm enjoying your narration.. lol
LOL! Whatever it takes, my man 😹 🙌
Lucky you! I always pay better attention when I'm high. While I'm high and building things everything looks perfect. When I go out the next morning I think the local kindergarten class had been working in my shop the night before! Lol

That’s pretty incredible. Do you have the call log of the first person you called after the first delivery attempt was made? That is a conversation I’d like to hear. 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣 My wife was the sounding board for that one. Luckily I had just chugged a double espresso so my mood was somewhat decent. Disappointed and frustrated, but certainly not the expected Hulk mode...yet... 😜😂
Keith Johnson Custom Woodworking Please tell me the client paid for BOTH stands?
Came out great! New sub here! Did they pay for your time as it was built to their original specifications? What did you do with the first one? Thanks for the knowledge and inspiration!
Thanks for the sub and the kind words! Original one is up for sale, so I'll make back the time and money invested. 👍
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking The original, built to the correct specifications, should have been paid for by the contracted party. They got exactly what they requested. I can't believe you would let that go.
Evox so hold them hostage to pay me and never get any more from work from them again? Or try and help a good client out by selling it to someone else? I’ll take the latter. Sticking it to a client will have worse ramifications. And I already have 3 more jobs lined up with this client. I would have had ZERO and a potential small claims court battle.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking You pick your battles I suppose. It's not "sticking it" to the client, it is asking the client to honor your agreement unless you left a lot open to interpretation. Either way, it tells you what kind of client you're dealing with.
I can understand both sides of this conversation, but I have to agree with Keith. I own a business in a different industry but have had customers give wrong specs as well. As long as they can admit it’s on them, I’ll redo it for free. The cost of you eating it is A LOT more then me, but if you can still sell it, at least you make some money back. My business is all custom so I can’t resell the product...but it’s not a huge loss...especially to keep the customer and to have the customer say good things about my customer service. I had a woman trying to blame me right out of the gate...I didn’t remake her order. I tried explaining where her error was, but kept yelling and blaming me...she didn’t want to hear it. That’s NOT a customer I care to keep.
First time watching your show, you’re awesome! It’s a beautiful table and your delivery is just phenomenal. So fun to listen to!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the show! 🙏😎
I have no idea how I have not seen your channel yet.. This is my vid of yours is my first to watch. It will not be my last. Looking forward to getting to know your content. Very much enjoyed your commentary style!!
Thanks so much, Scott! I appreciate the kind words. More videos on the way!! 👍🏻😎
Of all the physical activities known to mankind, woodworking is one of them. Attention and intention shape and coax the beauty that is already there to simply shine a bit more brilliantly and be noticed as the principled application of design dancing with beauty. A function is satisfied as elegantly as opposites attracting.
Wonderfully said! Thank you for the comment 🙏
