I always have gasket material on hand as I hate wasting half a day going to town to pay way too much for something that takes 10 or 15 minutes to make.
Rub the metal surface with a pencil then press down hard onto the gasket paper to transfer the outline.
Get a block of hard wood to use under the gasket paper when you punch the holes.
Cut the small holes first then the bore hole, last step is always the outside shape.
This leaves you with more to hold onto and less chance of tearing something you do not want to.
Scissors work well for the outside cut, many applications leaving the outside cut a little bigger than the original is fine and if desired the excess can be sliced off with a razor knife after assembly.
Small razor knife or carving set blades work well for cutting out bore hole.
You can photocopy a gasket for a template.
If you are using the hammer tap to cut method do a couple of bolt holes first then put bolts in the holes to keep the paper in alignment while you do the rest of it.
In a pinch cereal boxes, uncoated light cardboard, place mats, even the light cardboard that gasket sets come in can all be used as material.
