Waltham barrel pliers
Does anyone have or use a pair of these pliers...They are used to hold those pesty Waltham motor barrel while removing the two piece arbors..Wouldn't mind having a pair but I had never seen them before I found this picture of them...

It might not be that hard to make a pair , find a piece of steel pipe and cut it in half , take a pair of pliers and the pipe to your local welder , or buddy with a mig or tig machine in his garage, and BAM !


edit : find the right size pipe and mail it to me , I'm sure I have some pliers , {i think I owe you for a bezel anyway}
