Lift link shafts almost finished. Bending the 1/2 thick flat stock is tough. What I did was make a shallow cut with the band saw. Then bent from the other side of the flat stock (i.e. hit it with big hammer). This opened the cut slightly. I then beveled the edges of cut with a grinder and filled the bevel with the welder. This seemed to allow good control of the bend location without actually having a press.
