so I've seen all kinds of really great ideas here about how to design my stage but I'm wondering, what methods are most people using for curving the wood.
I'm a very green DIYer and building my riser last week was the first mid-heavy level construction I'd ever done. it turned out pretty well and now I've turned my attention to the stage. In reading up, there seem to be several ways to make curved wood, the easiest for a newby seems to be kerf cutting here you basically make a bunch of slices down the side that will be curved in. the other, WAY more advanced way seems to involve steam and either buying/renting/building things that strike me as being pretty complicated.
so how are all of you getting these great curves?
the stage I'm making is going to be 12" high, built from 1x12 pine with 3/4"plywood on top. it is mainly for show+speakers. not really going to have people standing on it at anytime.
thanks in advance.
