    I have made a draw plate for a guy who makes picalos it is the same
    as the wire draw plates you could probably do it in 6 steps or less
    I used o1 tool steel and a tapered reamer to make the holes then
    polished the holes real well then heat treated it. I mde the plate
    out of one 3/4 thick inch plate you can buy the stuff from a company
    called enco the piece will cost about 60 bucks or so. You will
    probably need a draw bench to pull the metal through because pulling
    it by hand will be very difficlut if not impossible I did a couple
    on my draw bench for him and then he built one using draw tongs and
    a boat winch it works real well I have not heard from the guy in
    years so I don't now how to put you in touch with him  I could
    probably help you make the draw plate though.
