I made this jig for a friend of mine. It is for attaching the skirt to a ramrod entry thimble. It will accommodate 5/16” or 3/8”. I just happened to have this thimble to show. I guess he will have to hammer out the skirt for it. I generally hold things together with a piece of metal banding made into a spring clamp. It is very easy to use when brazing the 2 together.
