One time I made a faucet valve stem washer from a piece of
leather for a temporary fix...eventually replaced.

Good one! I'd not have thought of that.

Hey. You have to get Red Neck in home repair once in a while.

Somewhere in my tools I had a gasket punch set that I would use to
make circular washers out of heavy duty gasket material for things
like faucets. Dang, I'm missing so many tools. o_O

TDD

Gosh. I cannot remember the last time I made or used gasket material
for something.

Used a pipe end to cut the circle with a hammer...


I had a set of gasket punches that were much like leather punches.
The punches were round and had an extremely sharp cutting edge on one
end and were meant to punch perfectly round holes for bolts to go
through. I had some other tools for cutting special gaskets like the
tool with a pliers like handle for cutting the 90° notch out of a roll
replacement gasket material, even the magnetic ones for refrigerated
case doors. I could make my own door gaskets for refrigerators. Gosh,
I'm missing a lot of tools. o_O

TDD

Ask Oren he probably has them or Philo...
The only important tool is between your legs; think with it.
