here is the process, once I figured out some short cuts the process went pretty fast. I was able to make 3 wyes in about an hour. I could have made more but I had to watch the Colts/Giants game with my son, hes a big Payton Manning fan.
At first I thought that flattening out the 6" pipe would help me make the tracing, but I later did one with out flattening it and it went smoother.
Heres the metal pipe flttened with the pattern layed over top,

I used rubber inpregnated gloves to handle the metal, after cutting it leaves tiny spurs that are SHARP!

After tracing the image like connect the dents. I used a dremel tool with a metal cutting bit to cut this pattern out.

The result of one of the patterns
