most of the bends are nice and soft so you could do them gradually over the edge of a bench. Lay a piece of paper (A big enough one to cover all the rust section) and make a pattern for the art, marking soft folds (rolls) and sharp folds (bends). Cut your piece of steel to the pattern and mark all folds, with the soft folds gently fold the sheet a little, move the sheet about 5-10 mm depending on the fold and give it another little bend, continue like that until you have a soft fold to match the piece you need, for for sharper folds clamp a piece of pipe om top of the patch panel and fold up. For square or angled flds clamp a piece of wood on top of the patch inline with the edge of the bench and bend up or down. Hope i explained this right for you.
Have fun and remember we love pictures ;)
