Yes, that is the problem with bags - you think you've gotten it in there correctly, but no!
I could barely bend the individual laminations by hand into the curve, and while the bag would do it easily, I was worried that the bag would draw together under the stack and over the form. Besides, tightening all those hand screws by hand will make me the hit of the party when it comes time to open the pickle jars.

Ah yes, lamination wars and years of lofting, jigging, glueing and clamp till you cramp endeavors!

Amazing pictures.
Just built a 15' work-bench for a bodyguard-to-the-stars friend this weekend. He wanted it beefy:

Guido, three questions loom through the only-two-espresso fog:
1. Were clamps the second greatest expenditure?
2. What glue did you use back then that gave you the working time you needed?
3. How did you right her?

I welded the bottem thing that keeps the blue prusic from falling off and to keep the hook stable with 3 points of contact... other then that... I forged the tip and used a hammer and a vise and a oxy fuel set up to bend the metal!

Recently completed this piece for a mother who's son not only graduated from the BUD/S training as a Navy Seal, but also just got back from deployment in Afghanistan. She wanted to give him a Christmas gift to commemorate his hard work.
Unfinished, testing lighting and acrylic front.
Loaded with training helmets, boots, Ka-Bar and grad class pic.
Commemorative Ka-Bar, magnet mount.

Nothing special here but at least I built something! The hand crack in the middle is fun...
It's a rental, I wonder how this will effect my security deposit?

I sent all morning fitting the footboard arch into the frame & rail assembly. A ton of hand work scribing, cutting, & chiseling, but besides the slow process it went pretty well. These type of operations keep me up at night but now I can take my Festivus break knowing that the headboard end will go smoothly when I return to the shop.
The shop's landlord has a very fitting sign for days like this.
