    Saw this from ground up milk bottle in a thrift store blender and melted in a thrift store toaster oven.

    You could do the same thing to make a block of plastic in a wooden form and even make dome impressions while it is still hot. Then make the punches from metal or hardwood.

    I have used a center punch and a small nail punch and a 5mm divot drilled into my pinning block
    To make domed washers
    1st I dome a washer with the centre punch in the hole then flip it over and use a 3-4mm nail punch to flatten the edge back to make a dome with a flat rim
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    Is this the tool set to do the job in question? Harbor Freight sells them for around US$45
    outback and jnats like this.
    To deobfuscate is to convert something that is difficult to un͝d̡͝e҉͞r̴͝st̨̕a͘͢n̢̛d̕̕ ̧͝
    into one that is simple, understandable and straightforward.

    Looks like a Punch Die to me. There should be punches (chamfered rods of OD slightly smaller than the ID of holes) they cut holes by plastic deformation and shearing. Best with a hydraulic press but a hammer works on softer alloys and/or thinner stock.

    Never made collars, but have made thrust washers (between scales and blades) using brass sheets .005 - .010. Drill 1/16 holes, then cut them out with paper punch.
