An inside or an outside solid form can be created using the techniques described in Chapter 4, “Materials and Techniques for Bending Forms,” on page 41. As is the case with any bending project, you will need an accurate drawing of the curve to use when making the form. Full-size drawings for making musical instruments can be purchased from suppliers of instrument-making materials. Any of the bending irons described in this chapter can be used in conjunction with the form. The manufactured bending iron shown here is available from tool and musical instrument suppliers.
