Thanks great helpful vid.
As a UK citizen I still can’t believe the USA continues to use the imperial system - It’s from the dark ages - America doesn’t even have a dark age! Come on USA, get with the programme, go metric like the rest of the civilised world. Then we can communicate more effectively.

Slow setting glue would be in order for this job. Regular yellow glue starts to lock up within minutes of putting the strips together.

If you use this method the curve will be solid and have no spring. You could try steaming some wooden pieces of wood and clamping them to a mould until it set.

I have a bed that uses wooden pieces of wood… Yes, wooden pieces of wood for the springs (like a trucks leaf springs). Several of the wood springs have cracked or split. How would I bend new pieces of wood so I could use them as new springs. The bends are fairly slight. Not as much of a bend as in this vid. Could I use the same method as in this video?
