How to bend aluminum trim

Sep 09, 2004 1 Replies

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?)


Might work, but you could just rent a 10 footer from Home Depot for a day and be done with it...
