I have my side bender and form built and tested. Now I'm ready for the real deal. Up to now I have tapered my sides before bending, using a hot pipe, but I have read that the tapering is sometimes done after the wood is bent and clamped in the form. Is there a particular reason for this, as it seems to me that it would require more effort than cutting a taper when the sides are flat? I'd appreciate your comments if you have the time.
