working on horizontal stab. parts

working on parts for horisontal stab.  Just have to make some type of brake with 6.4 mm radius to bend parts.  What are most of u bending these parts with.  I see when I get to firewall stiffeners I have to make a bend almost 900 mm long.  Not sure if I can bend these over a peice of wood or not.  What is the best way to do this without making another brake?
