Thanks - I didn't do it their way, but knowing the term "bending fork"
got me to a bunch of sites. I eventually made a fork with 2, 1/2" pegs
set 3/16" apart in a 3/4" sq rod. And a similar bending wrench with a
2' handle.

Unless the beginning is a tight radius or forged to a taper you should
be able to do it all cold.


I was able to do most of it cold, but did use an OA torch on the tight
curves. If I had it to do over, I would set up a propane forge - it
bends SO much more easily hot.

Thanks,
Bob
