Hi Randy Bretz,

No, I have not tried the hot-pipe method of bending wood, but I have heard of it. Another CBN member, Michael Fred Johnson mentioned the idea and we've "talked" about it a bit in the discussion link listed above. I you have any more to add, please add it to that thread. As it is now, I don't have  proper workshop, garage, or shed, so if and when I get around to doing it, it will have to be outside somewhere. My wife wouldn't put up will an open flame in our flat, even though she has two of them on her stove. Hey, maybe I could rig something up that would work on a gas stove top. Should give that some more thought. She'd still have to out for a day or an afternoon if and when I try it. Maybe there's another way to heat pipes other than a propane (gas) torch. I'd also need to research the topic more before I tied it. But other CBN members may be interested and better prepared to try it.

-Rand.
