Brass is brittle!! Hand bending didn’t provide enough accuracy to avoid bending at the screw holes. Annealing the brass and using padded pliers worked better but by far the best bends were created by simply heating the brass and letting gravity do the rest. The keel bands will provide a decent amount of protection for head-on collisions and scraping 🤞 #boatbuilder #doityourself #canoe #skinonframe #seatoseaforcharity #benkilner #pedalpaddle #brass #keelband | Ben Kilner
