In this video I show you how to design a custom project from recycled scrap metal using a oxy acetylene cutting torch and a welder. This time we made a custom vice grip holder for the tool room wall so we have a slick looking holder that makes these vice grips look way more organized and easy to find. I show you how to make your own custom templates and a bunch of tricks to see while you are using a cutting torch as well as a trick to prevent cutting through steel when you don't want to. Good stuff....
