   Sean, have you tried to steam the moulding first? Then clamp up in a jig. Let cool/dry and set in place. Might work... the other option, is to get a pair of helpers, equip with hot gloves, steam and bend into place, fastening from the center first, with the helpers setting the bend at the ends. Much like a boat rib. Only guessing....

   *Mark, all the rage... but now made of wood, not brick. Well, at least it is on the topside of the planet.

   *There have been several FHB articles about building up curved moldings or casings with thin, bending stock laminations, then using a molder, router or shaper to achieve the finished profile. there have also been articles about steam bending with details about site building a steamer.

   *Sean, just rip alternating strips from two pieces of brick mold, then glue and fasten in place. Just check page 103 in March FHB.It's easier to do than it is to describe. The diagram is about crown mold but the principle is the same, and will be even easier with the brick mold-John

   *Use PVC brick mold. If you can't cold bend the radius it can be heat bent as needed.
