A pair of sheet metal pliers, to which I welded a steel tab.   Why?

For the answer click on the link.

For some reason the auto link is not working.  You will have to type the link manually.

Later update…   I dont get this.  Even the manually typed link to the explanation does not appear.

OK.   The explanation is that these sheet metal pliers have been converted into canvas stretching pliers for my daughter who likes to make her own canvases for oil painting.  Youtube sucks sometimes.

Try searching “Thomas Baker’s canvas stretching tutorial” to see how the pliers are used.
