   Hunted up the links I had for homemade plastic bending.  Combined 
with Grant's simple brake it would make a pretty decent setup.  You can 
do a reasonable job by hand without a brake for plastic, but with the 
handle on the brake for leverage and a protractor on the side to go by 
you can do things with a bit more ease and accuracy.
