Jim, for the past couple of weeks I could not log into the sight, I must have received over a dozen new pass words. I could get into the site and read the messages being posted, however I could not respond. Don has worked with me and finally I'm back on Board!!

Thank you for the info on the Hammer Swedge, it works just like you explained. My next question is once i lay the cross strips of paper on the FM and place the large washer over them what is the best way to trim them to the edge. There a two straight razors in the kit, they are sharp and I tried using them, but that does not work very well, the cutting action pulls the paper from under the washer. I used scissors and they leave slight over hang of the strips. In reading all the past posts it seems I need to change the paper my friend used, it is old butter wrapper soaked in graphite.

Thanks again for your help,
Mike
