Creating a Lake

Eddie,
Cool. Glad my blond two cents helped out!
hugs, Brandi

Check out some timber boat building sites/forums, I saw a steam bender on utube on a wooden boat restoration. Might give you some ideas of how to get the best result.

I was thinking 6-10" PVC pipe.

Rick,

Thanks for the link. That looks like a nice set up. I'm going to Walmart to see if I can find what I need there, but if I don't like what I see, I just might order that kit.

Everything is done on the roof except the shingles on the onion dome. I need to start steaming as soon as possible. I have plenty of other things to do, so it's not a panic just yet, but I'm running out of time quickly.

Here are the latest pics

That looks awesome Eddie -- beautiful work as usual. With all the curves and complex shaping, it's obvious you're not afraid of a challenge!

Eddie!
Dude!
That thing is sick!
I can hardly wait to see what it looks like when you are totally finished and having a drink at sunset.

I agree with Sld. It is screaming for some copper. But I am anxious to see the steamed shingles installed.
Tedious, awesome work Eddie........................as I have come to expect. Did you get cross eyed doing all those different cuts for the curves? hugs, Brandi
