Waiting for my Windows to come in (Fantastic Fan/Vent arrived yesterday) so I've just been piddlin' and stuff.
Tried to bend my aluminium around the 6" radius on the door. First tried the uncut 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/16 - You can see the results in the background
Then I trimmed one side to 1/4" and it worked like a charm. That's not a kink in the bend that's the flash. I had annealed the angle heating it till the flame coming off the aluminium had a faint red glow to it. -- not the aluminium, the flame. It bent like butter. I'm going to increase the side to 3/8's and see if it will still bend. This is T5 aluminium angle from Home Depot.
Note the double screw clamp I built today. Like I needed more clamps!!
Oh well, 'bout bedtime.
