Bend the arms, or in the middle ?

[Charlie Chops 1940]

I bend, cut and weld the ends quite often. Haven't broken any yet.

The ends. I need to bend them out to the side about 1 inch.

[Charlie Chops 1940]

To move the ends in or out I usually notch it deep enough to be able to bend it, bevel the notch and weld it back together, dress the welds and paint it.
