    Hello fellow repair people
    One of my family members bent this frame for a skc 1000 and I need some advice on how to bend it back to shape without destroying it.
    Thanks

    It's fixed.
    The method used:
    Flat hard object and lay on top of bent piece
    use rubber mallet and pound on flat hard object very hard to get as flush as possible
    Also note to everyone
    Don't trust people to not touch your shit.

    If you ever need to bend back another piece of metal but you're afraid that it'll snap from bending back and forth, you can try to heat it up with a flame/torch as locally as possible. It might blemish and change the properties of the metal a little, but it'd be less likely to break.

    Yep, I did that too on the GSBox, and it was bent in many places...
    Small set of wooden planks, rubber mallet, done!

    How is the comb utilised in this scenario?

    Terrible advice. Your future as a metalworker looks bleak.
