I needed to make two brass brackets and tried forming them over MDF:
Attachment 42649
One of the key steps was coating the MDF in superglue
Attachment 42650
I annealed the brass a couple of times during the forming
Attachment 42651
The final finished pair of formed supports.
Actually, not quite finished as I need to clean them up and add spacer bars.
Your work is very nicely done!
MDF+Superglue is a wonderful form material.
I've used it for heat-bending plastic, plasma-torch forms (to run the torch around to make and exact shape), bending aluminum, etc.
I find that the water-thin CA is the best - it wicks in deeeeeeep.
Also, if I screw up in making my form - a bit of MDF sanding dust and CA fixxes my boo-boos.
