well the bending tool I refer to as the "WMD" lol.
I have several jigs for bending that I have used for bending scrolls and such. I am a trial and ere kinda guy, so I build my jig and use a small piece of pipe or make sure I can drill a hole in the jig somewhere that allows me to insert the pivot end of my bending bar. On the jig in the Picture I had to have my post in 2 places so the first bend only went about 110 degrees then I would flip my bending bar over and use the next set of posts that would allow me to complete the scroll.
here is a youtube video of one of my other bending jigs. it is towrds the last 30 seconds
So no there is not a pattern, I weld the posts on my bending bars where I need them at the time. but I have about 4 of them now so usually that gets the job done. I use all 4 sides not just 1 side there are 3 more sides there so why not use them.

Jeremy,
Super nice job, it is very clean, and the lines are tight. Really shows you pay attention to the details. Look great!!
