I think you don't want to bend it at the point where it intersects with the vertical piece (ie. the point at which it is welded). I use a heavy duty pliers and put the point of the six inch piece of CRW into the pliers until it stops. Then, bend the piece so the end of the pliers forms the bend. You get a uniform bend every time. Once you have formed the bend, you can remove the pliers, then use the two ends of the pliers to pull the two sides together by squeezing the pliers. Hopefully, you get what I am trying to say.

These are the pliers I use:
