It is easier to bend wood, keeping it hot, keeping the bending iron hot, etc. when the air is not hovering around freezing.

Needless to say, when gluing, it makes a huge difference in working time.

The next five things that need to be done are involving heat:
  1. Bending the ribs
  2. installing the ribs
  3. bookmatching the plates
  4. bending the linings, and
  5. installing the linings

So probably working in a heated environment would be a good idea. His shop is not only heated, it is a good deal larger than mine. :-)

Yes, I think moving the project to his place sounds like a winner. :-)
