How to bend aluminum trim
I have some left over aluminum trim. I am trying to bend some to cover
my patio door trim and frame so I will never have to paint it. I have been working with 2 inch angle iron and my hand but not happy with results. I cant afford an 8 foot bender. Can I build one cheaply? Can I take two pieces of 2 inch angle iron and hinge them together on the end? (Weld hinges on?) |
