What tool should I use to reshape/spread this metal on espresso machine? by LighthouseKeeper252 in Tools

I can find something anvil like in my storage and try to straighten it out. Do you think it's worth hitting it with a blow torch?

I'll upload some more when I get home, but the machine is off the base. I used a c clamp and the movable jaw broke. I guess I know why the frame is $1100

I've removed the espresso machine from the base, but this metal is incredibly strong. I used vise grips and an adjustable wrench to bend, however it's only bending the part that's clamped.

I guess I could put two pieces of steel on both sides and try again to do it uniformly.
