I, like many of you, have to make my own gaskets quite often. I usually go with the brute force and ignorance way of doing it and some times it works out some times it dose not. Complicated shapes are a big challenge and so are the bolt holes. The bolt holes seem to be the biggest challenge. The material used and cutting tools available make a difference of course, but I cannot help but think there is a more efficient way of doing it. Do any of you have any tips and tricks? Are there any tools or punches out there that would make the bolt holes easier and cleaner? I have an idea for a way of doing the hole but I want to know if it is already out there.
