If I press control one and go to the front view, you can see it here bending like that. Now, so far we've just been using cubes, but I think this time, I'm going to use a plane, because it's going to be easier to get this shape, this bend in the piece, without it having thickness, and then once we've got the shape that we want, we'll use the solidify modifier to give it that bit of thickness.
