I worked 10 years as a sheet metal worker and most of that time in the shop.
Making 12" pipe and a 90 degree ell are fairly simple if you have the right
tools. I wish I could draw apicture on here but I'm not quite that adept
with the computor otherwise I could show you how to layout the ell by
triangulation.
You don't live anywhere near north Missouri do ya.
All you need is a slip role, tinsnips, dividers, and a straight rule about
36" or so and a tape measure.
For the seam just weld unles you have a role forming machine or a break.
Could also drill and rivet.
You can get crimpers at a hardware store or sheet metal supply house, 20 to
30 bucks.
