This is an unusual suggestion but I come from an electro-mechanical background. I worked with a lot of electricians in my past. If you want to do simple bends like the one in the photo, any decent electrician can do it for you. They bend conduit like artists. You never notice it but you see their work all the time. Look on the outside of many light industrial buildings and you will see some great examples. They use everyting from simple hand held benders to sophisticated electrical and hydraulic ones. This bend can be done with one of the simple hand models that you can buy for a few bucks at any electrical distributor. You need a bit of talent to do it that is why I recommend an electrician who has done it hundreds of times professionally.
