I think you're correct with the wood steamer. The "clue" is the piece of wood leaning up on the white pipe.

I had never heard of wood steamers, and frankly I was a little bit nervous about doing an Internet search on this, given the not so long ago there were many articles out In “mainstream press” about people steaming their ‘taints and nethers. So I was mighty afeared of putting “steaming wood” in the search bar and hitting enter.

But I cranked up my safe search filter as high as it would go, entered the fearful terms, took a deep breath and hit enter. Happily the first page of results were largely from wikiHow and Wood magazine.

Yup. The "recipe". Looks like it could use some condensation coils and a water source...

Wow, post #1, that didn't take long. Wood plank steamer to bend wood to specific shapes.

I took a class long ago in St Michaels Md with a good friend that loved restoring old wooden catboats, The class was on splitting wood and steaming until its time to torture it into the needed shape. When we built his steamer I gave him a old plumbers lead melter that screws onto a propane tank for fire and his unit is sealed as well as it can be and he keeps his pressure around 10 psi. It will drastically cut down on the steam time that needed.

What is your dad bending wood for?

LOL*** very popular up north on the east coast on lakes, bays and skinny water depths. Most Catboats even past 20' can sail in under a foot of water.
Big wide beams that are fun to sail.
