Door Trim

I managed to install the 3/4" x 1/2" aluminum angle trim around the door opening.  I was uneasy about shaping the aluminum angle around the curve without distorting it.  I made a mock-up of the door curve and screwed it to the workbench where I could gradually beat it into submission with a plastic mallet.  I'm more concerned about the T-molding that goes around the perimeter of the door itself because it is wider and will take more convincing.  I may have to anneal it if it doesn't go well.

  1. Gary - I can only fantasize about making it to NZ with my own teardrop. I used to work for a company owned by Graeme Hart, and have always wanted to visit.

    Perhaps someday!
