I am back to work the last couple of days, as you are likely aware since Bob, for whom I am currently working, is putting in the time when it comes to keeping his nearby thread current. Today I bent and installed the sides in his Oz B'wood J-185 inspired Small Jumbo. I have some trepidation about hand bending the rather tight cutaway as I have had more than a little trouble with scorching this particular wood in the past. I allowed a little more heat on the inside than on the outside to get a sense of what would work. I think the outside is scorch free, and the worst on the inside is in the picture following. I am feeling pretty good about it.
