Before the fire, I had a tool box with gasket material and tools to make gaskets. I had some surgeon's scissors that the handle was about 60 degrees from the cutting material, some hollow leather punches, some leather punch pliers, a nice little ball peen hammer, a piece of hard maple and probably some other things I've forgotten.

Yes, I know gaskets are typically cheap but I like to do a lot of things myself AND sometimes you need it before you can get it shipped.

What do you use or suggest for making gaskets?

Is there a way to make thin edged gaskets like those on the air horn of a 97? I just order those but would like to make them, too, if possible.
