I'm a stair carpenter, and we glue curves on a daily basis. Very cool to see another persons perspective on how to accomplish the task. we usually template header radius' with cardboard and then lay it out with a jig wall for nosings, rail etc.
Minute 1.50, best speech ever. I earn my living by purely thinking and talking. There is nothing more mesmerizing ever for me than to wait for my vacations. Instead of Miami, I then start to tinker with no more than 5 tools and wood. This feeling is pure magic. The work done here may be above my head but it is beautiful!
One of the best DIY videos out there. Errors are part of every project and they are what makes us better at what we do.
On a second note, adding a couple of light colored stepping planks at the base tied in the whole project together and made the multi-colored Beams look purposeful. Good job and Thanks!
i recently lost my step father and he was super passionate about wood working. your love for the skill really comes thru. Im learning things from you that i should've learned from him, but none the less i wish i couldve shown him your videos. keep up the fantastic craftsmanship. i look forward to gaining more knowledge about this fine art that your sharing with us. YA SKILLZ IZ SHARP! HAHA
00:21 "The railing is kinda falling off."
That was a perfect Owen Wilson impression!
Hahaha, I thought the exact same thing.
Looked for this comment. Was not disappointed.
You are a funny S.O.B. ! An amazing wood worker and entertaining as hell. Thanks for another great vid.
Thank you again for your positivity! Always inspiring.
I appreciate a dude that can admit mistakes. Word from an elder.... " If your gonna be wrong ...Be confidently wrong". Love your videos man. Thanks for sharing
2:00 "Hello, this is Chef John, welcome to Foodwishes!"
Awsome video mate, and thanks for the honest tip at the end. It really shows your character, it's hard to show a mistake specially when your so cocky. Great video mate, cheers
met your Dad today he was right great site and easy to follow. I will be using your ideas.
As a woman, feeling my manhood reawaken was a very odd experience.
welcome to the club.... dues are cheap too....
Female erections are real and perfectly normal in a medical sense of course no profanity intended.
Mia Couch best comment ever so funny made me laugh
😂
Your welcome
5 in morning, your video just made my day… having a positive attitude is always welcomed. Keep up the good work.
you really are a wizard of woodcraft. So inspirational
Well done young man. I would not worry about the small amount of spring back you will get that back when you install it.
Jesse, was watching your videos while I was finishing up a project late last night in the shop and this one was hilarious! Probably my favorite video in awhile
It takes a REAL man to admit his theory was not 100%! BRAVO!! Love the video.. Subscribed... Liked....
Well done sensei. Thank you for sharing.
I like your videos. Thanks!
It takes a big Samurai to admit unforeseen adjustments- thanks for posting
Keep up the good work Respect from Scotland.
Love your stuff Samurai.....anticipation of awesomeness....brilliant.
Love it... and you made me smile... and not many people do that :)
Looking to learn how to do this... and thanks to you..I just did.
Thanks
4:40 bottom rail should have the same radius as the top rail unless the posts are tilted out which would then be creating a smaller radius, all the rails need to be parallel i.e. same radius in this situation.
haven't watched to the end but could you run Dowling through to keep something like this from eventually buckling? like maybe not all the way through to the top so the end grain of the Dowling isn't visible but something of the sort after the initial glue up is done?
I do curve railing all the time and this is basically the same procedure for most rail and shoe glue ups. maple is a pretty uniform material, but when you deal with walnut or mahogany, trying to color-match is basically impossible unless you want to waste a TON of material. looks good samurai!
You work in a beautiful area .
Now that was smart well done without steaming
you certainly make interesting structures that's why I'll subscribe
awesome workshop!
You totally busted me. My manhood feelings have been touched! Haha!
Step two lol.
Great channel man keep it up
You are awesome!!
I think your awesome Jesse, continue to be you Dude!
Really like your videos! If you want it to look like one beam, take one large beam rip it to with, with prefferbly a ban saw, then curve and glue.
I LOVE your wood working shop! Wish it were mine. Great work, I'm glad I stumbled on to you stone carving of a sink that has lead me to all the rest. You have a new fan!
+Mardee Hill This is my friends shop. I have my own shop now that is way better than this one.
+The Samurai Carpenter Pretty sure samurai were a bit more humble than you
+ikill4less That's part of the fun of watching. He's playing a character. A guy can't take it too seriously.
+Mardee Hill that is funny! the sink led me here as well. this is a useful video when your building a round house. :)
Yeah it was the sink for me too!
Good video thanks for sharing
Beau-tee-full work, beaUUUtiful, awesome.
Very informative, thanks for sharing your experiences. Some of the silly negative comments on here remind me of the old joke about how many guitar players it takes to screw in a light bulb. I enjoy all your videos, keep them coming.
OMG I love you! Beautiful pile of wood indeed. Haha
Great show..good info A++
Edifying and entertaining! My loins will never be the same.
Ignore the negativity. Haters are gonna hate. Nobody is perfect. I'm sure you will do well. Keep making these videos.
would you feel some ring shanks or secret screws beneath the top layer of the bend might make it longer lasting since it will be out in the elements?
Very helpful and creative
great vid. 👍🏻
You are the absolute Bomb, man!!
Hello! I'm very curious if those woods need to be steamed before being bended?
Very good video!!
Thanks so much!
hey man i notice you always have the sniffles. for a long while i was struggling with sinus issues and even a sinus infection that had me really sick. i traced it back to wood dust while working in the wood shop so i reluctantly went and bought a nice 3m respirator. i work with mahogany almost exclusively as of late and i can taste it in the air when i'm milling a lot of it. but now that i wear the respirator i can't even smell someone smoking a cigarette next to me. it really filters the nasty stuff out. i feel dorky wearing it but each day my sinuses feel better and better and my nose isn't always feeling plugged.
NosillaWilla I've got one and I do try to wear it when sanding. I'm going to set up a killer dust collection setup in my new shop that should also help. I definitely wear it when working with MDF.
The Samurai Carpenter I hear that, MDF is really nasty.
Ugh I hate wearing it too but man it makes the difference. Apparently green birch logs have something nasty in em. I was resawing those earlier this week and feel like crap now.
I have a book on a bunch of different wood species . Some r toxic to in-hail the the dust . Other act differently in that they do something to your system that "sensitizes" you to make you more sensitive to other wood dust ... forget what the book was called .. suggestion is to see what the wood qualities are , form the fine dust to other aspects of the wood b4 u start working on the with no mask or gloves
No I think he just has a huge cocaine issue.
Great info ! I wonder if it will work with pressure treated 1 X 4's for a gazebo ??? ...
If you wanted the radius to get tighter I think you needed to transfer the same measurement perpendicular to the tangent for each block. If I'm not mistaken you essentially stacked a curve on the same curve like this... ) )
The music reminds me of chef John of Food Wishes

Half expecting "and as always, enjoy"
How long does the glued boards have to remain clamped till they hold there curve/ form?
Also... Do the boards need to be wet as you form/shape then clamp them so that when they dry they maintain the new form/ shape?
that a cool bridge project
nice work
man, a lot of people in these comments are real sourpusses. I for one really enjoy seeing some quirkiness and humour in woodworking videos and projects, keep up the good videos Samurai.
@Jake Here are some great woodworking plans if you're interested: HootWood. com
Nice job thanks! You need to take a vitamin c for that cold
Some of these comments are painful, "just buy a beam and cut it up to grain match" Yes, a rarely specific beam will surely be easy to find and cost less than buying a lift of boards, certainly... In my experience with laminating curved rails with rise or 'flare' we always use 1/8" or 1/4" strips to remove most of the woods retention. Our laminations (depending) also stay in clamps for 10 hours minimum.
i like your channel, cheers man, likeable to watch\
nice wood work. i bet it really smells good in there. i love the smell of wood.
Awesome
if you use a thinner board for more layers you would get minimal spring back. resaw your board than plane down to help not having to use more lumber. free tip, use well samurai.
youre awesome bro! glad i found your channel. i was a wood worker turned clay worker and i rekon next time u do a sink... do one out of clay. love your vids! thanks from noozeeland
How would you go about firing something as massive as the sink without cracking it? Reason I'm asking: I thought of making earthen window sills at some point in the future, but fear they'd crack when fired. (I'm not a potter, I'm just curious and get my hands on anything manual if I have a chance.)
+Florin Jurcovici need a large kiln. and trials. you can do the sill in ceramic tiles. my friend does canvas frames in ceramic. its all possible.
good job
That looked like titebond three? If not what kind of glue did you use and why? I'm planning a huge curved plywood laminate glue up and was considering using urea-formaldehyde glue. I'm not too thrilled about that glue but I can't find anything else suitable with a long enough open time except for epoxy (which is too expensive) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
+Jared Jeanotte I used Titebond 3. A couple guys commented that I shouldn't have used Titebond but I went back to look at my work after a few months and it is all still perfect. I think you get more spring back with Titebond and that is why people don't like it.
+JonasVideoReview IME, once glued up, over time wood will bend to the shape it's glued into, so the more time passes the less risk of delamination due to internal strain there is.
IME, delamination occurs when the glue breaks - an issue when the glue being used hardens to a rigid consistency, and the pieces it holds together are exposed to small but constantly varying deformations (like stairs, for example - they deform slightly on each step, they'd quickly become loose if they were just glued in place).
I don't know titebond (I've noticed glue brands are different on the two sides of the big pond), but, in order to prevent delamination, whenever I build something for outdoors and exposed to frequent and repeated movements I use a polyurethane based glue that stays elastic once hardened and is completely insensitive to water. It will soak into the superficial layers of the wood, then harden in contact with moisture - the dryer your wood the longer the curing time (but also a stronger bond, because the glue has time to soak deeper into the wood). Once hardened, it's like plastic. The only way to clean it is sanding, and it will hold even when wood is submerged in water. Only downside: it's not as strong as regular white wood glue.
How does a curved Glued beam like this weather? I would think that after a while the weather would help break down the glue & the beam would start to DeLam and bend back. I would think some screws going threw the beam would help keep everything in place? Just asking? Great video
quick question for the master. is your beam just held with glue or do you use any supplemental screws?
nice I like red cedar wood usualy after paint yaht varnish
The beam can be made to look even if you mill your planks from the same beam. Number them and re-assemble them so they go back in the same order. The beam will look like a solid piece!
We learn, we live, we love. Don't capitalize on your mistakes, move forward always gaining knowledge!!!
How long did you wait for the bend to take its form?
ilove this guy
i would try to dowel the pieces together to avoid the springing back ... the dowels should be vertical on the curve :) ..... just an idea .. correct me please
Great video - subscribed! ;-)
Hi what was the glue used thanks a great video
you're my hero, lol
You can use woodprix instructions to build it yourself guys.
If you enjoy woodworking plans, you will love stodoys. Get inspired by all the endless possibilities of furniture plans and other wood projects to build, for both indoors and outdoors.
I'm gonna add my two cents worth to the spring back band wagon. I've tried to adhere to the rule of thumb that 14 laminations yields no spring back. I've done dozens and in my experience, as few as 10 works fine too. I think the critical thing is the thickness of the stock - the thicker it is the more it can fight the bend.
any one know what brand his pants with the built in knee pads are?
Hey man what bags do you have on?
LOL at the samurai part
+adamcluck how ?
+adamcluck well I was thinking a little different. handcuffs. blindfold. AND a 55 pound block of concrete. Just for fishing of course. I might take lunch for when we're done.
Where and how do you get your wood?
How is it the the wood stayed Curved if you didn't hear it up ?
Was the original one made of several thin beams of wood too or was it a single thick beam?
All timber can be matched its just a matter of selection also you never calculated for spring back once your g-lam was released from clamping. However pretty good effort for your first attempt, so kudos brother Chippy 👏🏻
Still don't get how you got the bottom arch correct. What's the method?
Does anyone else think he sounds like Owen Wilson when he says "the railings kind of falling off" at the beginning?
You sounded like Ferris Bueller scolding the principal while impersonating Mr. Sloane, when you said ''the beams are kinda falling off''
You are very talented but I hate the crocs.😁 Thanks for all the great videos!! Greetings from Texas
+Florentino Luna Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate...I'm just gonna wear, wear, wear, wear....wear my Crocs! Wear my Crocs! See what I did there? You just got Taylor'd by The Samurai.
+The Samurai Carpenter You do know that the holes in the Crocs are there to allow your self esteem to leak out.
Damn fine woodworking! I have to wonder if one could have simply re-laminated and resurfaced the existing handrail, especially since the were to be repainted? Ostensibly the rot was only on the posts.
Looks great man! Any tips on getting that square and flat if you don't have a jointer/ planer? Thinking about doing a smaller version of this for some rocking chair legs.
Nick Kelsoe I'm a furniture designer n joiner, and a few years ago we made a lot of things that has curved pieces. At the first time we used the laminating technique but later we have learned how to steam bend. When you laminating, the layers will move, doesn't matter how much you wanna keep it flat.
If you don't have a planer, it will be really hard to laminate, rather try to steam bend. A bit more tricky, but worth to fight. :D
+Csaba Kövi Some years ago I restored an Imbuia rocking chair that had stood outside exposed to the elements for years. The arm rests were totally warped but I managed to bend them back to original by using an ordinary electric kettle in a "steam tent" improvised out of a piece of plastic sheeting. It was almost unbelievable how the wood pulled back to its original shape using clamps. I did not hold out much hope for it at the outset, but was mighty pleased at the outcome.
What glue did you use?
With the top rail you have a couple of light colors and the strips get progressivly darker. so if u had checked the colors and planned a litttle ahead at least you could have had a more uniform color scheme
For the arch another thing we did was just a pencil string and nail... If you have a wood floor and can screw into it.
Soooo I heard someone once, in a rant, say something to the point of, if your going to do something strive for excellence, or something like that.... I wonder if the guy who did the staircase thought "oops"... lol.... love the videos...
How long does it take for it to curve?
hope you got over the cold quickly
where did you get those bags that I keep seeing you guys with them I want to set
"Bags"? What are you talking about? How about a time or location in the video where you see them and maybe the color?
I am not ashamed to say I luv you. U are a #$%# Samurai
"I just want you to know that's not uncommon... You are just experiencing your manhood being reawakened."
good day; I like to ask you if you can make a video about carving a propeller - thank you
For someone that proclaims that only absolute excellence in every project, your overhead lighting install is pretty hack
+Sean Mckee It's not my shop. It is a friends shop.
+The Samurai Carpenter
Fair enough. I had just watched your video on the spiral staircase, so those lights jumped out at me.
After having used the stone sink, do you regret not making the bowl deeper?
***** what is it you think I am doing?
The first video of his I watched was the stone sink, and really liked the concept and execution. Just curious if he would have gone deeper with the bowl.
I guess my first comment was a little harshly worded, but my second question is genuine.
