Wood bending
Looking for recommendations on wood bending books, videos, techniques, etc.
Classes would be nice too. Northern California, San Francisco Bay area.
In particular, I'd like to learn how to bend solid wood and also how to make bent laminations. Need more freedom in designing the stuff I make!

I just did a little laminate bending on my last few blog posts, also when I was thinking about the project I picked up this book and it should help you out http://www.amazon.com/Woodworkers-Guide-Bending-Wood-Woodworking/dp...

If you get a chance to take a lesson from Michael Fortune, do it. His forte is building with bent solid and laminate wood. I bought a DVD from him a few years back and although it's informative, I think it would almost be useless if I hadn't seen him live first.

You tread made me look at vacuum press systems. Not only can these veneer a flat or curved piece but you can laminate your own curved piece of plywood to your homemade form using luan or more thin forming type plywoods. Althoug a captial inverstment this has a lot of uses over steam bending. Hot pipe bending is for pieces that do not need to conform exactly to a mold for 3/8" or less from what I seen.
