The above is a goose neck top die. The bottom die should be a v die as in the above proto tek link. bottom the gooseneck into a 90 degree v and the angle will not spring back. The gooseneck allows the ear, so to speak, to bend. Then slide the piece in for the second bend. The ear from the first bend will contact the back of the gooseneck. The ear cannot be larger than the middle measurement. ie, You can make a channel 1x1x1 or 2x2x2 but cannot make a piece 2x1x2. To do that requires a die spacer so that the ear is free to come around into an empty space above the top die.
