So this post will continue the talk about the bent lamination process I used to create the rams horn style handle for the bicycle. Like you all read in the previous post the mold has been created, now it's time to show you all how to cut the thin strips to create the laminations. The first thing I did was create a jig that will allow me to cut a constant 1/8 inch strip of material.
So here is the jig, its pretty neat because it clamps to the table of the table saw, and then moves out of the way when you want to make your cut. Again, like I said the jig uses the table saw fence to allow a material to be cut into a consistent strip to allow bending.
As you can see in the first picture, the jig fold out of the way just like I said, and makes a consistent strip of 1/8. The next process is the actual process of bending the material. I couldn't take pictures of the process because it involves gluing, but I will put a link to show the process below.
