HELP ME!!!! Lorica Lobed Hinges

[marsvigilia]

O

Well it's basically the same type of tool as hole-punch for paper is- except that instead of a round rod punch and a round hole die, the punch and die are shape of a lobate hinge. Using a powerful hydraulic press it cuts the shape out of sheet metal. It's not a tool you can just go out and buy anywhere- mine's custom-made from the original hinge in my collection.
