Good work there, the stainless trim will polish up nice. Did you use a steel hammer on the window trim, is that why the trim has stretched? What did you use to tack the trim back together?

Stephen
Hey Stephen, I used hardwood pieces profiled to the curves and a steel hammer to knock out the fine creases, and then a plastic mallet to form the rest. Was hoping that cutting out the piece under the curve would force it to hold the shape, but the trim is only 0.5mm thick so it was asking a lot. Used 0.9 316 stainless wire to fill it all back in.

Thanks Scott
