[PSUBS-MAILIST] Tube Bending Tips/Advice

[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

Getting ready to take some very straight SS tubing and bend it for installation.  Never bent tubing before but I have a small hand bender and an idea. I was thinking on using something rigid but something I could form/bend by hand (heavy wire?) and make a template to then bend the final piece against.

Looking for advice form those who have done this.

Thanks,
Steve
