To slightly enlarge any inner diameter, I hold the washer in my hand whilst lightly rolling the sanding-drum round and round. I have done this for the outer diameters as well.

The washers, during their craftings, are invariably very-lightly scratched here and there, yet in the end are smoothed with the fine steel-wool and lemon-oil. After the grease is applied, they effectively disappear.
