This is how I did it before I had real tubing benders and I still use them for more gentle bends. It is 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood with a 45 degree angle routed on one edge and then glued and screwed together into a "V" shape. You need some way to hold the tube at the end and just a bit of muscle to pull the tube and bend it around the form. I made 2 of them in different sizes.
