What is the best way to bend square tubing? I am looking into bending 1/2" and 1" tube. The shape I'm after would be a gentle arc with about 5" to 6" height in the middle, length of the piece would be no more then 6'.
If I get access to a tubing bender, does it need a special die to get that collapsed effect in the middle? What is the best way to do it without a bender (I saw the thread about the home built bender in the tools section, but I am not going to have the time to get that prepared before I have to finish the rack).
