Default crimping/bending aluminum tubing?

I need to crimp and bend some aluminum tubing in various places. I
might want to crimp the aluminum tubing and then bend it at the
crimped point.

I'm going to use those points for drilling and connecting to either
small diameter metal rod or connecting two aluminum tubes together.

I'm planning to buy a reasonable size vice and maybe attach half of a
steel pipe to each jaw.

Thank you.
