Continuing the right-angle bend...
Heat your tube in the crossfires, rolling it and moving it between the marks that you have applied EVENLY, and I can not stress that word enough.
When the glass softens, balance the tube in your hands EVENLY, preventing the tube from stretching or twisting, then raise the tube above the fire as to apply more heat to the bottom of the tube ,which will be the outside of the bend.
Next bend the tube upwards  EVENLY while using the blowhose to keep the tube from collapsing.
Bending the right-angle bend is fairly easy , yet requires practice. You will be practicing quite a bit if you want to master this craft.
There is another way to make a right-angle bend, but most commonly used in Europe. SEE NEXT PAGE
