    I got a piece of 1/8 brass bar stock from eBay for cheap. One thing I would suggest Tapering the brass into the wedge on the one side of the brass stock. I tried to cut the piece first and it was a huge pain because it conducted heat so well, I constantly was getting burned. Well best of luck to ya!

    Yup, some double stick tape, a wooden paint stir stick a file or sheet of Wet and Dry if you don’t have a belt sander.

    Yes, do taper first cut to rough size and sand or file to finale, once pinned.
