Surely, you'll need a mandrel machine? Trying to use one of those 'bottle-jack in a frame' benders will result in squished,
flattened, dented and kinked chimneys.

You would be better off either finding online or locally a source for ready made bends..... get the ones you need and cut/weld the pipes together to
give you what you need... can be done to give really good results if you take time over it

If you make wire formers of the bends needed you could take the pipe to a local exhaust maker. They will form it for not much cash. I did this and
saved loads.
