[Woodworkers] DIWire?

[Jason Beam]

Does it only bend in 2D? I have a need ... but i'm pretty sure it'll 
require 3D bending ... think soldering iron rest - like a triangular 
lookin' bit with a cradle in the top peak ... but it would need to stand 
upright so I suspect a 3D bend would be needed - it wouldn't sit flat.
