One way to make dies is to forge a pattern and drive that into a block 
or to form a die.
In the case of a 60 angle cross section you might try annealing a 
triangular file, hopefully a dull one, and then driving that into a hot 
block of steel with your treadle hammer to form the die.
'Three corner' files are available in many sizes and the natural taper 
on some of them might suit you.
