    Bending 1/4" aluminum or stainless rod

    Hello,

    I am not a metal worker so please excuse my ignorance. I ammaking some pull out pantry shelves. On the side of each shelf I was going touse a section of rod to hold the items on the shelf. As I start to investigate this I am gettingconfused. Should I use aluminum orstainless, and can I bend the sections myself. Again I am not a metal worker so I would be setting up some sort of ajig and bending them by hand.
    So my questions are: Do I use aluminum or stainless? Can I do this myself?
    I attached a photo from the web of what I am thinking ofdoing and a pdf of a sketchup of the part.
    If I am an idiot for trying this tell me that as wellplease.
    Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
    Larry
