I got a call from a friend at a scrap yard and this is what he sent out with some steel I bought. Biggest pair of nail clippers I have ever seen.

They're for clipping BIG nails - spikes even.;)
Actually, they're shears for cutting sheet.
No matter where you go... there you are.

I'm with you Stretch! Drive that spike end into a stump and ya got a nice Beverly Wannabe! Most people just clamp it in a vise though.

I seem to remember a Shear detailed in The Art of Blacksmithing that was bench mounted and couldn't have been much bigger than these.
OK, if it was to be uses as a beverly wannabe, can you cut curves? 😀

I said it's a wannabe not a "IS-abe"!

When I get a minute I am going to make a holder for on my table and see what it will shear. I think 16 ga won't be to much of a problem. Right now they are a conversation piece. A friend I have is an old sheet metal worker and he said they were used with the sheet on the floor and that way you didn't have to put the sheet up on a table. Sure enough it is wore on the bottom jaws and the tail piece on the bottom handle, looks like it was used on a cement floor a bit. He was right again.

I sold a couple on Ebay, one was a compound Pexto, I like my China Beverly knock off shear for sheet metal Harbor Freight, , had to regring the blade angles and temper some as they were too brittle, $90 if I remember right.
