Chris,
       Just curious. Can you make one? I think your question is a good one. It's just that I think in terms of making even the small pieces. What's different about a rivet washer from any other washer? Lin

I was thinking maybe a dapping block could be used to shape a flat washer into a domed shape. I have not actually done it, but I plan on getting or making a block. Lin
