Want to include a curved section in something I want to build next so need to research how to do it Bricolage-style #91 with as little new equipment as possible. 🔍🤞🏼

In this video I learned that using a Wallpaper Steamer is an option for a safe source of steam! E.g: https://vonroc.pt/wallpaper-steamer-2300w-4-5l-4m-hose-incl-wall-scraper at €65 I think this is a price worth paying for safety if not having an open fire to hear water for making steam … 💭 But I think I would like to build a fully “bricolage” version that anyone could make with basic tools. 🛠️
