I’m remodeling a kitchen and laundry room, which involves removing some of the home’s exterior siding that I need to replace. I had to fabricate a custom piece of flashing as part of that repair. I purchased a coil of aluminum trim and then used a bending brake to size and fabricate it into the piece of flashing that I needed.
A bending brake is a large tool that holds and bends metal sheets to fabricate exterior elements, such as window and door casings, porch and deck posts, and, in this case, custom flashing. See the photos below.
