Frank - I shape stainless in the same way I shape cold or hot steel...with the oxy-acety torch or by cold forming over different shaped steel forms or into chiseled out wood beams, chiseled with the shape i need to make. The gauge of the steel also makes a difference, as stainless is much harder than cold steel,...but the forming technique is similar with both cold/hot steel and stainless.
