figure out where you want your bends and how you want it shaped, mark your bends and holes in ink, then flatten it out and trace it on a piece of metal (steel, aluminum, stainless, whatever you want) and bend it where you put your marks on the cardboard. Drill your holes, and mount it. Much easier than trying to weld everything together.

Oh yeah I watch plenty of people mark there cuts and brackets where a bend should be so I'm going to make sure if I fab something up I'm going to do it right the first time.
