I think I picked them up at an Ace hardware that carries micro fasteners. I have found that some hardware stores carry them, and some don't. I have NOT found ANY big box stores that carry any, smaller mom & pop places seem like a better chance. I drilled a shallow hole in the side of a claw hammer the same size as the diameter of the washer. Then I used a punch to press the washer into the cavity so that it would take on the same shape. I think I found that on one of the articles on here, but I'm sorry I can't find again, maybe someone who remembers can post it? Here is a pic of mine:

    Now that you have spelled it out for me, I do remember that being mentioned in other posts. It's nice to see that it turns out such a nice product. Well done!
