Greetings,
I wasn't describing stacking processes.
I was suggesting that the process of "wedging" might be replaced by
compressing the components together with a "whack-n-bash" tool. It
would avoid the - find the wire - find the sharpening tool - strip -
sharpen - drive - nip - process of wedging.

Hmmm . . . understand. Yes, anything you
do to minimize voids in the wire grip before
soldering is a good thing to do. If copper
'wedging' is unattractive then reducing
the cross section of the terminal barrel
is another option.
The wire for wedges is pretty easy. Most
hardware stores will sell 14/2+ground
house wire by the foot. Buy one foot and
you'll have 3 feet of wedge material. It's
pvc insulation and comes off easy with
a pocket knife. I get sharp ends by cutting
the pieces with the tool as close to parallel
with the wire as it will permit. Pushing
the wedges in can be done with the same
pair of wire cutters. The last one will need
to be driven . . . I use the wire cutter for
that too.
