Roger,
	The felt hammer trimmings from the supply houses are useful for tons of
stuff. Not just rest rail. I use the sharp edges for some buffing
applications, and you can get new sharp edges with the pass of a
craft-knife. Rottenstone gets excited with hammer trimmings. Trapwork shuts
up. Tool bags and boxes get soft little feeties. Emergency ear protection.
You name it. Get you some.

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bit 'em, 
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; 
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
