Re: medieval armor
Ah! Hole punch probably works better than a drill anyway - less chance of it skidding about.
Besides, doing it the way it used to be done because you want to is a perfectly valid reason.
Once you learn how to engrave with a powered graver you'll probably want to try your hand at older methods. I do a little bit of hand push - mostly just not applying power when it seems appropriate. At some point I intend to learn hammer & chisel, as well as learning how to properly palm push. That way I'll have the techniques available for when they're the best way to do something.
