Hi, first time here-
I’m building a small addition to a brick house and think it would look nice to use curved head casing over the door and window to echo the arched brickwork. However, I’m not sure how to fabricate flashing for the casing. The window is 2-0, door is 2-8, I’ll use 5/4 stock with approximately 2″ +/- rise in the curve. Siding is clapboard. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks, Jim

Where are you located. I have a copper guy who makes curved metal drip caps. They are beautiful. You need a metal guy with a strecher/shrinker. Thats what my guy calls it. He gets them perfect. Circles, I just havve to supply the radius. Eliptical I provide him with a template.
You could also try cutting lead in short lengths and overlapping each piece as you move around your radius ,cut off the overhanging lead at the face neatlyleaving a strong quarter inch bend and you should be good to go...(just another option )ok!
