Well I suppose that depends on what you call a regular pipe bender. I actually want to make something like that although not as tiny, so I have been looking into this. I believe your best bet is the spring tube type benders. I read on another site a guy was making a coil about 8" in diameter and he had tried the old filling it with sand trick and that didn't work at all. He finally used the spring bender, just continuously moving it along and it worked very well he said.

I would do this just by winding the copper tubing arround a steal pipe. Use a slightly smaller steal pipe than you need for the inside diameter of the copper coil because it will spring to a larger diameter when your done.

I think it would have to be a little bigger. Funny though.
