Trimming front bow

I had to re-trim the front bow on my 1911. When pounding in the upholstery nails with a leather covered hammer, the bow would bounce around. I decided that pushing in the nails with a pair of (leather protected) channel lock pliers, instead of pounding them in with a hammer, was much easier. I don't know why I haven't thought of this before...

Nice. I think I will make a new tool for the upholstery kit.
