>Or you cut just cut two circles with a hole saw.

>Countersink the arbor drilled hole on one disk so it will ride centered on
the round bead swaged on the stay.

>With a jigsaw cut a thin slots the width of the stay O.D. from the center
holes out to the edge on both disks.

>Slide both disks onto the stay and screw them together with the slots 180°
from each other.
