Unfortunately, I didn't have enough hands to photograph myself bending the Sintra, but here's how it went down:

1) Boiled small pot of water on stove
2) Held Sintra underwater for a minute or two with a wooden spoon (Sintra floats)
3) Pulled it out, and with hot mitts and something flat, held it bent at the right angle until it cooled.

For the classic "Miller" walker design, you want about a 30-degree angle on the front legs.

Drilled screw-holes and bolted the motors on.
