For the nicest bends, try an canvas awning manufacturer (commercial or nautical) or a race shop that build roll cages. They both will have a 1" die. We have bent tubing with the benders that electricians use, like sold at home depot. If you use the electrical bender, consider using steel electrical conduit for a nicer bend. It is fairly strong, thin wall, inexpensive and not too heavy.
