To make a nice fold you just need some 4x2" timber, preferably Hardwood but pine is fine. Mark out the steel, and cramp the timber either side on the fold line. Stick it in the bench vice and use another piece of timber and a hammer to work the fold over. Mark out the taper, slice a wedge of the other edge and fold as before. Surprisingly neat and very quick. Folding between two bits of angle back to back gives a sharper corner if you want an OE look.
