Javier Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Check out this article I found in geek.com about how its possible to weld 2 pieces of wood http://www.geek.com/science/good-news-its-possible-to-weld-wood-with-friction-video-1567462/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't see that being practical for years to come but that is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEtwidget Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Or... Use glue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 If the bond has the same properties as a solid piece it would be better than glue, think of metal welding, you don't glue two pieces of metal. Imaging if your car frame was glued together, it would fall apart just going over a speedbump or dip. Just imagine the possibilities in woodworking and fine furniture without the need for fasteners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have a hunch it's activating the lignin in the wood, which would act like a glue. Similar to when they extrude saw dust into pellets, it's the lignin that holds the saw dust together. I doubt the joint would hold very well. If it did it would be good for veneers, or something like butcher block tabletops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have been able to do this with my fingers. Just need a little super glue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have a feeling this is another invention like DOHC engines. You know, they make the the whole process harder and more expensive than it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 See guys. That's what happens when science gets involved! Ahhh Hah! I've created the perfect bond! Next thing....blam-o! We have..The Fly, only with wood....or Frankenwood!

Kato Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 All I keep thinking is to go out in the garage and light a piece of wood on fire with my propane torch and smash it to another piece in my vise, see if I can "weld" the two pieces together. Sadly, science only ever makes me want to do stupid stuff to see if it'll work. No testing, no science involved, no logic, just stupid human doing stupid thing. Who knows, if I don't burn the house down I might be on to something. As for keeping it PG...how the heck can a forum based on tools be PG?? You know it's just gonna be fat old bald guys sitting in recliners with beers in their hands talking about tools and stuff. There's gonna be swearing and burping and farting and stuff. We're guys for Pete's sake, this is what we do. Now, where the hell did I put those Slim Jims and pounds of bacon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hahahahaha wow. That hurts just thinking about it. I arrested this chick one time and I asked her is she had any tattoos when I was booking her. She was real nice Rochester girl. 35....smokes....A LOT...probably a 40d (mostly fat) you know the kind of girl you want to marry and take home to meet your parents. I ask her and she say "yeah I've got a picture of a mouse on my groin...SEE? Oops the "kitty" must've ate it. Oh yeah...classy girl that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
