I have a project idea where I would like to take a flat piece of stainless and turn it into a foot stool with a trapezoid shape.


Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Is this material you already have or material you need to buy? How big overall, height, width, how many legs/sides?

A trapezoid normally has 4 sides, although one may be left open.

Bending the stainless is probably your real question?

What type of bar E.g. 304, 316 etc will affect how easily it will bend.
Do you have bending equipment?
Can you bend past 90 degrees?
Do you have the ability to heat (e.g.Oxy/Acetylene)

Let us know what resources you have and it will help to get more accurate answers.
