Could use some advice on my "Barbie Box" project (details in comments)

Bending wood?

And no, not Peyronie's disease. I asked for a challenge and a neighbor asked if I could make this. The cat, I think I can laminate boards and go to town carving and sanding. Not sure how to bend plywood (left side). Anyone have any tips that don't require an industrial steamer?

I F'd up bad I think. I tripped a breaker while using my planer and forgot to raise the blade before reseting the breaker. It squeeled like a pig and now won't turn on. How bad is it?

What can I make?

I found this cool piece of driftwood on a trip with my brother. I want to turn it into something cool and gift it to him for Christmas. He’s not very sentimental, so if I don’t make him something useful, he will probably throw it away. Any ideas? It’s about 18x6x1. I have no idea what kind of wood. Cedar?

Have a bunch of these woodworking books wondering how much they’d be worth?

Hey all sorry if this isnt the right place to post this I’m happy to delete if not. Just wondering what the value of this set of books would be if anyone knows. Thank you!

I have no woodworking experience so I decided to make a spoon

How to removed botched wood filler?

I have a door frame that has some paint chipped out and I thought I would put some wood filler on it before painting. The problem is I didn’t realize this wood filler is a 2 part as the hardening agent wasn’t put away with the other part/lost… Anyways, any tips on removing this so I can apply a less involved wood filler?
