Ornate Brass Bending

[DafyddElvy]

I need to bend some brass to form some seat ends, I know the profile I want to achieve and the size.
The plan is to make a jig to bend up the brass strip and was wondering if any one could suggest how much i need to over bend to achieve the shape I'm after, it's a sort of omega shape that I need to make a jig for, any ideas appreciated, thanks.

Well you got us interested with the title:

Okay how do I correct the spelling to read brass instead of bras?

It's not really that ornate but more ornate than a rectangle.

Might this help ? Working with Brass, Part 2 - Bending Brass - Dug's Tips 14 - Cabaret Mechanical Theatre there is loads more out there on the interwebs. Just Google (other search engines are available) Bending Brass as a start point. there might even be some tutorial s on YouTube. Max

Thanks, I was probably using a word search which was too technical.
