[HCoop-Discuss] Fixing warped rails

[John T. Settino]

A simple "metal shop" version of straightening bent metal is to put it 
into a vice and tap it flat with a hammer (preferably ball-peen for metal).

Then again, I don't know what kind of metal this is or what kind of 
tools Nathan has at his disposal.
