Step 7Making sharp turns
This is one of those tricky bits.
I found it's best to offer it up against the jig, then mark on where you want the bend to be.
I put my cutter into a vice at this point and bent it over by hand until it was a 90 degree bend with a small-ish radius. I then thwacked it with a hammer to make the turn tighter. Now remove it from the vice and bend it the rest of the way, then hit it with the hammer again to flatten it.
Offer it up against your template again just to check you got it in the right place!
