Following my sailor knot obsession... this is a sinnet (or sennit) chain. I made one out of rope so you can see the difference in 3D. Weird huh? #steambending, #steambentwood, #woodbending, #handcrafted, #oaklandmade, #sailorknots, #shoplife, #woodworks, #woodworking

A progression of the monkey fist knot. I wanted to bend the entire bit instead of piece it. Total failure for this style but maybe I’ll@come back to it. Need to do actual work now. #monkeyfist, #steambentknots, #steambendingwood, #studiolife, #handcrafted, #crazyprojects, #failures, #woodwork

Taking a time to focus on a different kind of studio. Studio Ghibli in the house! I wonder if we can just recycle these for next Halloween? #halloweencostume, #halloween2017, #studioghibli, #princessmononoke, #kikideliveryservice, #totoro, #miyazaki

My 7yr old gave me this comic yesterday and wants me to bend this knot. I gave her a blank look. #steambentknots, #cutekids, #studiolife

Either this is the longest movie ever made or there is a glitch in ITunes. I’ll go with the latter. #longestmonthever, #babydriver, #glitching, #moviemadness

I live it when I can keep the knot inside a bend. Most of the time it is a failure but I love the successful even if they are far and few between. #steambentwood, #steambendingwood, #woodwork, #lovemyknots, #shoplife, #handcrafted, #industrialdesign, #woodsculpture, #woodworking

If only it took 14 seconds to plane these curves. Now to cover up all those drill marks. Won't see any of it when I'm done. Two more feet to go. #steambentwood, #steambendingvideo, #woodwork, #planing, #sculpture, #industrialdesign, #artlighting, #maker, #maybeart, #oaklandmade
