I do that from time to time.
Some gaskets are impossible to find, or I want it now ( Sunday night )

My dad showed me the same thing about 40 years ago, making a carburetor gasket for a Briggs and Straton motor. Some things never change. Thanks for the memory.

Kerry,
Great practical post. I learned how to make gaskets on the farm from my grandpa who never threw as much as a used spark plug away, because you never know when another depression will hit and you might be wishing you had any spark plug. I'm quite a bit younger than some of you and have amazed friends by making gaskets over the years; they were certain these homemade gaskets were somehow going to be inferior. Good on you for posting what used to be common knowledge and a common sense approach. I'd like to see a whole website of this stuff.
