Shade-Tree Metal Hardening

Two pins, about half again the diameter of the wire to be bent, spaced about three wire diameters apart on center.

I.e., for 1/8 wire a pair of 3/16" pins about 3/8" apart (I used .4", 'cause it made the math easier as I cranked my table around).

I would like to see some measurements and/or plans for the latter. Looks decent and shouldn't be too difficult to build.
