Once you have the tubing hex shaped use your hobby knife to cut the tubing to length by rolling the tubing under the blade.
Use short pieces of stiff wire to make the angled fittings.
A 12" piece of tubing will make 100's of fittings.

I don't really understand how you work. WHat exactly do you mean with six sided pin vise? And you "chucked" into it.. can't quit figure out what you mean. (srry I'm from Belgium ;-)
