For bending the sides i had to use the thickener to cut the wood down to 2.5mm and then i had to run them through the sander to give them a smooth finish.
I then used the template and drew around it and using the ban saw cut as close to the line as i could. I then left the two sides in water for 30 minutes to soak. I turned on the bending iron to heat level 6.
After the 30 minutes i took one piece out started to bent it using my 1st former as the guide.
The process of bending involved Soaking-heating-bending and finally holding till it cooled.
it was a very long and frustrating process required a lot of patience to do right.
