Free Steam Box plans - Construct a wooden box about 7 feet long by 1 foot wide by 1 foot high. Along the inside bottom of the box, place a copper pipe that has been riddled with perforations. The pipe should exit the box via a T junction near the centre. Where this T junction pokes out of the bottom of the box, attach one end of a PVC flexible hose. Attach the other end of the hose to your steam source (we used a regular electric kettle, but a modified pressure cooker or a steam machine, like a wallpaper steamer, would have been more ideal. Kettles constantly have to be refilled, can be hazardous to use and tend to burn out). Also, fasten little pieces of wood to the inside bottom of the box so that the plank to be steamed can rest on them, thereby leaving room for the steam to get under it.
