Me too.
The bending form is in the vise and sitting on a form used to capture the end of the bungee cord. The cord keeps a tension on the bending slat.

That is the end of the bending slat. Don't know if this picture is any better.

OK I get it -- good idea.

Ken,
Any new info on your purfling bender idea?
I've been working on bending some fine rope style binding - one successfully and one without as much luck. Would love another way to think about bending these delicate pieces.

Some of these are really fragile, as a matter of fact you can view one video that's online and clearly hear the herringbone purfling snap into pieces as compression is applied -- yes it happens, that's the reason I'm going for a new design not based on the Fox style bender.

Nope -- just didn't have time for R&D, busy summer again this year. Below is how I've been bending "built up" purfling for years, not fast but works fine.
