Curves , so labor intensive . Had a architect that I used to a lot of work for that loved them , 6 or 7 different radius's per job . It was both challenging and rewarding but mostly time consuming . Instead of string I used to use a thin strip of wood with a nail punched through both ends , only for the fact you get zero deflection in your arc . Great video .

You can avoid some of those gaps with screw type clamps. The quick grip versions do not apply enough pressure to get a great glue-up. Using the alternative clamps will increase the strength and reduce entropy via moisture. Also, spread that glue out.

I realise this is quite an old video but it’s still totally relevant. It’s always best to use resin glue for curved work, something like cascamite (Not sure if that’s sold in USA I’m in UK) but resin glue must be available. Reason for this is resin glue doesn’t allow any movement so the curve should have less spring back, plus it’s totally waterproof. If the wood is to be stained one can add some colour to the resin to make it similar to the desired finish so it doesn’t show the glue lines.

To alleviate spring back,once the radius was established, I made the end L brkts inside the radius line by 1.5 inches so when it did spring back it finished almost exactly on the true radius line.Instead of butt joining the strips I cut the ends at 45° so I only had to fix one strip at the end and the next one wedged itself into the angle.This also Save's clamping it.Also used to run all the strips through the thicknesser to make the mating surfaces smooth. This way there's less filling when finished and exact dimensions can be kept to if specified. Just some thoughts.

I would caution not to use the verticals on the jig. Screw the blocks on the jig straight to the base. Use the clamps on the blocks for support and pressure. Let the glue set rather then relying on screws to hold. You will have less “spring back”. Also roll or brush glue. The screws should not be the strength, they are place holders only. Strength comes from glue and wood. If using project for exterior without good glue coverage water will penetrate and dry rot even pressure treated wood.
@terryharris3393

All PVA glues ‘creep’. That is the glue will stretch with continuous strain. When you don’t steam bend prior to gluing you will experience much greater spring back because each laminated layer will not have been softened to take the new curve. Even with this added step there will be a tendency for each lamination to return some of its old ‘shape’. PVA glues also harden as they cure so leaving a bent lamination in the fixture for several days to a week will also reduce spring back considerably. A change to a resorcinol glue will eliminate all creep and is waterproof. No PVA glue is actually waterproof under continuous submersion, not even Titebond III! Resorcinol glue is a better choice (structurally) for outdoor bent laminations and doesn’t require the extra time in the fixture.

Bevel cut the pieces at the Inside joints will also take away some of the spring back you are getting, use a 60 to 70 degree cut and 3/4 brads at an angle to pull them tight. One or both might just solve any spring back at all. Nice how to DIY rail video I bet it helps a lot of peeps.

Great video! You may already have this, but this formula calculates the amount of spring back. The trick will be figuring out how to adjust the form to compensate. Trial and error I guess. Y=X/N² Y = Spring Back X = Inside Arc Height (your measurement of 15-1/4") N = # of Layers (5 - not counting profile pieces) So your spring back should be around 5/8" from center.

When building railings like this you can use strips that are vertically thinner in the centre of the rail. You keep the top flush when you fab it up. This will form a channel on the bottom side to take the balusters on the bottom negating any need to cut mortises. You cut small spacers on a band saw or use a jig saw and fit them between the balusters for looks and strength. In addition, the thinner strips will have less spring back keeping you railing truer to the proper radius.

Really enjoyed this video. I'm an small time independent carpenter / everything. I would suggest you could try cutting and angle at the ends of the joined strips and start at those joints to mate them tightly as you would for joining trim mold that exceeds the normal lengths of stock. I constantly find myself having to figure out methods to do seemingly impossible repairs on older homes. It always work's out but often the time I invest in the process means I'm almost working for free. Or I'm laying in bed at 3 a.m. trying to work out a solution for a problem I must solve the next day. I need a good camera so I can start doing some videos of my own projects. Thank you and I will be watching maybe I will be able to sleep when I know I've seen a method, perhaps one of yours will work for me.

there is a way to compensate for your spring back. There is a comprehensive article in Coffmans stair building guide (I think volume 2). Baiscally, your center L bracket on your jig is screwed right on your line as you did. Then, for every L bracket thereafter (in both directions) is set 1/16th of a inch away from your line, but... (this is hard for me to explain but bear with me)... so, the first one after your center L bracket is a sixteenth away from the line, the next would be a eight inch away from the line, then the 3rd L bracket would be 3/16th inch away from the line....and so on until your all out of L brackets. You do this on both the left and right side of your jig, and once that baby spring backs its gonna be pretty much spot on. So, you know its gonna spring back, so make it a wee bit tighter of a radius and when it does, youll be golden ponyboy. other than that, you did an amazing job and great video. And im not saying all this to be big headed and act all smart but as a wise man told me one time, iron sharpens iron. keep on keeping on buddy. Hope u can make sense of my rambling, im not exactly a english major, just a carpenter.

The easiest way I've found for finding the radius of an arc. Draw a line that intersects the arc at 2 points, then mark the center point of that line (between the two intersections). Then square a line from that center point, this line points to your radius point. Now you run a tape measure along that line. Then you take another tape measure from any other point on the arc crossing the first tape. Where the measurements match up is your radius. Hope that makes sense and helps somebody, great vid.

As to the springback, did you ever measure to final 'sprung back' radius to determine just how much it changed? I was thinking that, if one had an idea of the difference as between the original radius and the resulting (sprung back) radius, one could tighten up the form a bit so the final radius would be as required even as the form radius was 'tighter.'

Also use full length strips much easer to keep together and will give better product .

Stagger your joints, spread your glue, line up the pieces better so you don't need to use filler. NEVER use bondo outside, wood expands and contracts, bondo does not.

So 'jointing' is monkey babble speech for 'planing'. And 'planing' is the monkey babble equivalent of 'thicknessing'. Got it? 'Jointing' is edge only. Planing is face and edge. So thicknesser is the correct term, because a face planed board is then fed into the thicknesser to achieve the thickness required.

Another tip is to shoot the nails at an angle inward from the end of the board so they hold better. 14:51 I would use a hand planer (Powered of course) or a belt sander Dunno how well the curve would go through a regular planer.

Excellent technique for curving the railng! Thank you for sharing your ideas! There's a simpler method to recreating the arc without math or needing a center of the circle. Get two straight boards a little longer than the chord (straight line been the end of the arc). Place just a little inside the end of one board against one endpoint (a nail or screw) and do likewise with the other. Cross the boards at the other ends to meet at the arc and attach them to keep the angle fixed as two sides of a triangle. Keeping the boards against the endpoints, moving that angle between the endpoints will trace out the arc, maintaining its radius. See kzitem.info/news/bejne/kaWYx45rg5d5jIo. The technique you use (this or line from the center of the circle) depends on where you can maneuver. Props to Red Green!

Great project. I've never tried to glue PT pine thinking the moisture content was too high to hold. Looks like you used regular water proof glue. I'm gonna try that. Thanks

Thank you for a helpful video. I haven't read all the comments, apologize if this is repeated- good quality construction adhesive between each strip couldn't hurt.

Why not use 12’ material for the strips

It was hard to find any material that long that didn't have a knot in it at some point. But definitely, yes. If you can get clear material, go as long as you can

I have been watching video after video, on working with rounded projects, and this is by far one of the best for multiple reasons. First the technique is impressive. Second your improvisation and explanations are a tremendous help to "do it yourself" people. Thank you for the quality of your video.

Bit of expert advice- use continuous strips (laminates) of wood for a better result.

Nice project and nice technique. I can definitely see myself use that in the future. As a matter of fact I already have a project in mind for it.

Good job! It seems that if your jig had accounted for the internal forces of the rail (specifically tension close to each 2x4) by placing a 2x4 opposite (outside) the inside 2x4 (to what your railing is anchored with screws) to provide direct force against the tension, your railing would not have retracted the 1/2 - 1 inch that it did when you removed it. This is only a theory, so I am not sure if it would, in-fact, work. But, based on the laws of internal forces, I’m inclined to believe that it would...

Did you cross the wood at the center to join together?

I used different lengths of strips to make sure I had overlap at every joint. Still looks good after 4 year's 👍

instead of sanding you could use a hand plane for straiten the top and bottom surface. then sanding would be only for the finishing. using a plan give you a good control and is faster than sanding.

hand plane???? why not a power plane then grinder with 100 grit...then random orbital sander with 120 then 150
@rickfessler3987

well you can do that. but power planes a pretty rough and don't have a control like a hand plane. on a hand plane you simple could spare the sanding.
