Brief Description:  Straightening and Fluting the Wing Ribs

Because my Hand Seamer tool is nearly 4 inches wide it isn't a good choice for the curved parts of the ribs. So I cut some aluminum sheet and bent the two pieces to make a pair of covers for the steel jaws of my Sears pliers. This results in a much narrower jaw (about 5/8" wide) that can fit between the rivet holes - something my hand seamer can't do.
