[QUOTE="ryan20021982, post: 209422, member: 6124"] Well I got some more done the past week, just waiting for stuff to come in now to get measurements and stuff before making deck. All the framing is pretty much done just a few little things left Also I have a bunch more of the diamond-plate left from the transom and wanted to make some panels for the rear compartment and make another piece to wrap up and over the transom and polish it to protect the painted part from getting all marred up and to make it thicker but I need it bent, has anyone ever tried bending 1/4" thick without a press or brake? Can I just make a jig and heat it up to bend it? Have done that will steel but I just wanna make sure the aluminum wont want to break or something. Thanks [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZM62e.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mcBI7.jpg[/img] Got a few things in yesterday [img]https://i.imgur.com/i9PIy.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
