Hey Connor,
I too am struggling to get access to the video you made.
Thanks for the info! and I love your "if you make the cuts with the grain it will split" Tip - that's very useful for anyone wanting to try this out!
I'm fascinated by the process of bending wood!
And again, well done, great project!

Nicely done Mobius!
Long ago before the internet I once found the formula for kerf bending in an old 1940's Craftsman guide. Used it many times with much success. My memory isn't what it used to be and I can't recall the formula nor find that book
. Recently had a job where I needed to kerf bend again and used this online calculator...

Nice work! I used that plywood bending method to make one for a girlfriend's daughter many years ago. This year I made some for grand-nephews. Instead of bending plywood, I used slats cut with a slight angle on one side so that they follow the curve as they butt together.
