it makes the process a breeze.
The wide-jawed plyers? They're for doing gutter and siding work--you can get them at Home Depot, etc. They definitely make some jobs much easier! I use them for things like sword scabbard guttering, too.
Jef, you were wondering about the accuracy of this type of folded-tonge loop. I'd have to dig around, but I'm pretty sure a few were done that way. A loose one in the Corbridge box springs to mind, though I'd want to double-check that. I don't think it was THE most common method--most really seem to have been flattened rod. But it's vastly easier for us!
Valete,
Matthew
