Well, just today I got distracted from what I was doing to repair a
generator that's had a part missing since I pirated it for my tiller
in 1971.  Involved brazing a tube into a hole in a piece of sheet
metal.  Sheet metal predictably went all wonky.  Dropped the tube
through a hole in the swage block and hammerer the sheet true.

I've also used a larger hole to flare the end of a piece of pipe
evenly. 

But mostly I've wondered, too.
