add a photo. I also have one bent piece that needs straightening

I'm sorry Karol, I'm useless at keeping photographic records. The special tool is simply two 40 cm pieces of 30mm box section with short 1" dia. stubs welded at 90°one end. These fitted into the bar clamps and gave me control and leverage over an awkward shaped piece that was heated to cherry red, fine adjustments were carried out using a hammer!
