Thank you Otis that is a very good explanation of fitting the wedge. Bill said the width of the blade but I could not visualize what he meant from his explanation. I am using 18 gauge brass escutcheon pins and 1/16 brass rod for pins. I have to make a fixture to hold the rod for pre- heading.

I have made a dimpling block for #0 washers but the ones I have still look to large. I have ordered #0 and #00 brass washers from Micro. I am currently using salvaged washers for my repairs.

Do you have any suggestions on the washers? I have not tried cutting blanks from 1/16" brass tubing and forming them on the dimpling block.
