Default pipe bending to make a shower 'rail'

NC wrote:
I am thinking of ways to make a nice looking, but strange
shaped shower curtain rail for my odd bathroom (see post
from a few weeks ago...) Anyway, how easy would it be to
take some 14mm (ish) chromed pipe and bend it into a strange
shape with a pipe bender ??


Quite easy, BUT.....

Would the result look OK, or would there be alsorts of nasty
marks on the pipe ??


the chrome plate will flake off. You would do much better to
use cupro-nickel or stainless tube, bend it, and apply brasso
and a small amount of elbow grease.
