Abstract
A device and method of marking an elongated element for bending. A template is provided that has a body with a first end, an opposite second end, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The body also includes a concave surface that extends between the first end and the second end. Length indicia are disposed on the body adjacent the first straight side edge. Angle indicia are disposed on the body adjacent the first end. Utilizing a marker and the template, a start line and a finish line are marked onto the elongated element. Additionally, a guideline is marked on the elongated element that extends from the start line to the finish line. At least one bend is formed in the elongated element between the start line and the finish line. The bends progress along the marked guideline.
