Bending RattanFrom SÖR Ustad "the Dreaded" Hasan al Hajjii Sövalye oso apfmk-combat@midrealm.org Tue 11/18/03 11:44 PM pot of boiling water ... aluminum foil ... 15 - 20 minutes ... and your foot ... find a good sized pot ... with a lid ... boil your water ... put the foil on the lid so it hangs over the sides of the pot to keep the steam in ... use a couple pieces of old rattan or something to prop the lid up on 2 sides ... put your rattan in between the 2 old rattan pieces ... at the point you want to bend it ... steam for 15- 20 minutes ... the rattan bends like a wet noodle ... put it under your foot ... or any where you can bend it the way you want ... hold it for a bit ... minute or less ... let it cool ... repeat as needed.... I make my scimitars this way ... works perfect every time and to all the marshals before they ask...... ITS NOT BROKEN ... IT'S A SCIMITAR May Allah keep and protect you and yours SÖR Ustad "the Dreaded" Hasan al Hajjii Sövalye oso apf Step 2 I have fibre taped the handle to hold the cross piece in place Mmmmmmm Stick...
