I've made tons of gaskets, carburetor gaskets, you name it, All it takes is a set of punches for holes, also to create a place to start a cutout, you punch on a piece of pine wood, END grain only, this works by far the best. I never 'hammer' out gaskets, I trace outlines with a sharp pencil, cut exterior with a sharp scissors, cut inside cuts with a sharp circle shear, I cut intricate exterior of gaskets with the circle shear where needed, Hammering parts to cut gaskets can damage parts' edges, I just don't do it, I hate sloppy ragged edge gaskets. I want them neat and clean cut, done right they can rival any you might buy. It pays to keep 1/64th, 1/32nd and even thicker material on hand, also rubberized cork and natural cork, can really save time and trouble when a surprise rears it's ugly head ... and I hate surprises. Cut well guys, just do it. Warrene
