Are you sure? I don't remember them using steam boxes for the Tally Ho. I think they use sawn frame construction instead of steam bending them.
Maybe you are mixing it up with Acorn To Arabell? It's an other youtube channel who do definitely steam bent a lot of frames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOFP4Rop4u0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOFP4Rop4u0
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoFairly sure they built a steam box in an old shipping container at some point along the way. Not sure which components it was for.
- plopz 5y agoI remember them doing that, was that for steaming or to dry out green lumber?
- krisoft 5y agoMaybe you mean the old shipping container they use as a kiln to dry out the planks? https://youtu.be/3jPNyAn5yyk?t=1172 https://youtu.be/3jPNyAn5yyk?t=1172 I don't think they use steam there, quite the opposite if I understand it correctly.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoProbably you're right and I'm wrong.
