Hi All:

Not my dumbest for sure but today's mistake is an easy one to make. I wondered why the temperature was taking so long to come up when bending a side in a bending jig with a blanket. It felt pretty hot, it smelled very hot and the wood bent. In doing a reheat it was again going slow so I looked carefully at the thermometer and behold, it was reading in Celsius degrees. This is an argument for bending with a pipe. When the wood is ready it bends without me knowing what the temp is.
