Cannot and will not claim authorship/designing for this nice prick punch as it came from: http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/showt...09/03/2015

The steel slug rides freely on the rod and is dropped, slidehammer-fashion, onto the steel plate pinned to the shaft to drive the prick punch into the work. The punch itself is made from an index hole punch rescued from an old mechanical teletype. The brass screw at the end hides a pocket to store punches and also serves to keep the hammer on the rod.
Now I have another addition for my 2 do list.
