How to kill your hands

First, get a hole puncher.

Next, build a DiY alcohol burner windshield using a kit mentioning punching holes.

Repeat until you wear out the blade of the hole punch so much that you have to squeeze the punch to death.
Anyone know how to sharpen a hole punch blade? I had to buy another. The previous one is so worn out that it can't even punch a hole through rice paper; it chaws on it instead. The most annoying part of it is that the screen is for really small stoves. I probably could have made a better one out of chicken wire and foil.
ETA: Discovered the problem. The thing's been chawing aluminum so long that it actually has flattened the punch bit. I'll need to get a thin whetstone to file down the sides. Yeesh, now I know why they charged these for only a buck.
