    You can make the female quite easily by drilling a hole thru a piece of steel and then make a cut from the side thru the hole with a hacksaw.

    The cutting surface of the male can for a small diameter like yours be all flat.
    On the female you should polish the cut you made so you get sharp sides of the hole.

    I'm talking about a cutter to make the first blanks, the forming part you are doing nicely!
    One trick to get a female for forming is to use a piece of poly cutting board, heat the male part up a little and press it into the board.
