The bend at first glance may seem a little awkward but there is an easy way to form it, that said most special builders probably can't be fagged these days and I am sure that yours are of excellent quality.
Well, looking at the finished version, I certainly would find it very hard to make! The material is quite thick, and it tapers in width and thickness. I would find it extremely difficult to bend that thickness of steel, let alone to the correct curve and twist. I admit that I don't have the necessary heating, bending and machining equipment, just a vice and hand tools, so that doesn't help of course. But I think that I would also need a fair amount of experience of metal bashing to make something like that.
