Nice!  What can you teach me about the hole  punch?  I have many and have no idea on application or use

Hole punch: gaskets, leather, etc.  I've got several, some of which look like someone tried to punch holes in 1/4" titanium.

I worked in heavy industrial construction, mostly in northern British Columbia in sawmills, mines, pulp mills etc. We used these fairly often mostly in sawmills one common application was to hang heavy belt curtains down adjacent to a conveyor that kicked logs off to drop them to a lower transfer deck. the curtains helped to keep the logs straight as they dropped. There was no limit to where you could use these punches, wood, leather, belting, etc. I retired 13 years ago and still have about 25 or so from about 1/8" dia up to I 1/2" and I still use them once in while.

Yup, pretty much what they said, Oily.   almost anything you could want or need to punch a hole in (although i don't recommend the titanium)...   wood, leather, gasket material, cloth, paper, etc.
this is the first arch punch i have, although a collection of other types including some of the sets which allow an inner and outer diameter to be used together.

Thank yall!  I wonder if this is what happened to my wallet (it seems to have some hole where money goes missing). 

Happy Holidays!
