Searching also led me to Pinterest and I don't know whether to thank you or dislike you, my purse is swaying towards dislike!
My biggest frustration with Pinterest has been that there's lots of amazing stuff but it's either old links, only the image, or American!
If I could buy the above - at a 'reasonable' price - it's not like I wouldn't consider it... but I'm going to have fun playing I think.
I dare not go back in for another look 🙈
There are plenty of YouTube videos saying how to bend wood, not all have the roller / bendy machine and it would be fun, doing it yourself and seeing the end result in your home.
You do know we will want to see it when it's done 😁
ETA: anyone know what's bendier 'out of the box' - flexible MDF or 3mm ply?That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
