The piece with the raised center is like a big hollow rivet tool made out of 1" round stock and the other piece shows both sides both for supporting the spacer piece while pressing. I am sure the factory stamped inside and out in one operation but I attached the inside first supporting the spacer on its heavier shoulder with the hollowed end, then put the cork in place clamped things together squeezing the cork a little so the spacer protruded on the outside, then supported it by flipping the piece over inserted in the spacer to support it while pressing the outside.ggsvh@aol.com
message me and I will give you my phone number, it's easier to talk about it.
I cut holes in the cork with a 1" leather hollow punch using the shop press, worked like a charm.
