Thanks for the replies. To be clear I had annealed spring rod I had made from square stock. I did as you mentioned of heating bends to cherry red and bending. My only problem was heating in a vise the vise acted like a heat sink and four back to back bends basically that had to be rather precise in distance between them. I ended up heating held in place by linemans pliers and bending that way. Once bent in the all the directions I needed I heat treated it in my electric oven. Long story short it works great and my old favorite palm sander is back in use! One bend isn't near as pretty but it still works great.
