Well, I'm tried making a 'press' for domed washers using two larger bolts (like I've seen in another thread), but it hasn't gone well. The bolts I bought are too hard to drill and it is difficult to keep the bit centered. I bought some brass ones too, but I looks like they were just plated.

I've read about using a dapping block, but it seems like the washers with the flat ring at the bottom would be less prone to flattening. Any suggestion??
I have some pivot washers I was going to use (#0 or #00? I think), but what washers do you use to make the larger domed washers?? Or do you have to punch them out yourself??

Thanks
