I've seen video of him freehanding various parts, unsupported, and it

appreciative of my intact fingers... and the potential for disaster on
a bandsaw. (3tpi - 1/2" blade - makes for a fine meatcutter.)
I think I'll try steam bending instead. I worry about consistancy,
however - They have to match up pretty well.

Yeah, I always see him free-handing them. I even heard him say that he
doesn't recommend that for other people. I know he also likes to use
the router one-handed with roundover bits. I would probably go that
way only with guled laminations and a roundover bit in the table where
possible.
