Default Experienced pipe/conduit bender for a special project

Does anybody know of a business or an electrician that can bend some 3/4 inch conduit? I am making a lawn bowling rake and need some precision bending of conduit. I just need a person with a lot of pipe or conduit experience. I have a bender and the conduit but cant seem to make even bends on both sides.

There have been several theads that suggested you shouldn't post unless you know what you are talking about. I don't believe in those rules. There is an establishment in Webster across the street from the Sumter County Farmers market that sells statues etc made from scraps of metal. Long shot but maybe they could help.

IMO any electrical contractor can bend electrical conduit. Getting one to do it would be the 100 dollar plus question? Might take drawings (with degree angles) to custom muffler shop see it they could do it? But, the 50 dollar plus question might come up?

big difference from bending EMt & GRC, a 3/4" met bender is a no brainer

It has been many years since I have bent conduit, but I have lots of experience in build various projects and solving problems (engineering background). I would be glad to look at what you are doing and maybe I can help.
