I'd guess it would be:
1.) measure the I.D. of the coil and the thickness of your leather
2.) calculate what diameter a cylindrical "knob" would have to be to
have the leather flow down over it,
and still keep the leather within the coil's I.D. (Confirm this in
the bench.)
3.) make your knob (maybe, FR cardboard or felt punchings, punched again)
4.) glue everything up using the coil as a form for the leather on
the damper tray.
Who's going to bet a quarter?
