Default Where to find steel wedges?

You could have them made at any local steel supply center. One way is to
have them custom flame cut or sawn out of six inch by one inch thick flat
bar. The bar is cocked over out of square for each cut.
Most fab shops make their own.

Sometime back I was given a couple steel wedges, just hard flat steel
about 1" wide, 1/4" thick at the fat end and tapering down to nothing.
I have looked all over locally (Tacoma and Bremerton, Washington) and
no one has them. I found some on McMaster-Carr and ordered them, but
they are sort of a hollow ground at the fat end, not the same. And
they are relatively expensive.

Pipefitters use them, I have found them useful for all sorts of
spreading and aligning. Anyone know where to find such a thing?
