Not bad! How much springback do you get? You had better not slip and scorch your fingers!!!!

Matthew,

Interesting. Thanks for posting that.

I love the cardboard double bass video. Are there any more details on how it was made?

If its hot enough, no springback. I tried using tassy oak for linings but it was much harder to bend and did spring back quite a bit. Yeah I have to watch the fingers a bit, but I'm used to it. I use wooden battens for the tricky bits.

Here's the setup:
