First grab some thin corrugated cardboard, I like to use pizza boxes,( and eat pizzas) then make best guess patterns.Usually the 3rd or 4th version is close enough.Trace it on to,in this case 1/4" mild steel plate, & proceed to cut it out.Both my Ryobi 18v jigsaw & angle grinder worked very well.
The plate was cut out in 2 halves that then got some electric glueing to form the offset needed, a further grinding /smoothing then a coat of 'Zinc It' stainless steel spray. Job done.
