I'd suggest cutting out a form from wood that is the correct radius for the bend, clamp it firmly to a heavy work bench, and then clamp the end of the tubing at one end of the curve, and just bend the tube by pulling the loose end so the tube bends around the curved form.

This will probably work better with some types of tubing than with others...you'd want tubing that is relatively ductile, so 6061 is probably out of the running
