Would someone who has done it give me details of steaming some ash for my Nippy. I am asking full details including what materials and dimensions for steam box and time of timber in steam.....how much water to start with etc. Just to save reinventing the wheel. I have some very well seasoned ash.
Also wondering if i could just get away with cutting a curved piece out of solid with my bandsaw or whether it would end up with too short a cross grain at any point.
Last attempted in early 1970s to do boot bodywork failed (more due to chamfer angles and wrong curves) and I made frame from 1/2 inch angle cut and shut to curves..
The job in hand is to make the 2 new 3/4 inch pieces that run between floor and top lip of the cill in a Nippy body.
I have a propane stove that has a 9 inch ring/burner that screws into a dumpy 2Kg gas bottle, also have other smaller cooker/burners.
