I was want to know if I could use a piece of brass as a punch or would it not be ok

Sure you can .Drifts and punches are made from all different types of metal. Your choice depends on what your working on. Hope I helped and Welcome.

Can't see why not.

Brass is quite a versatie material

Never underestimate the power of brass ;-)

And you're welcome, btw

Depends on what material you are working on... brass, being soft, wouldn't be a good choice for steel but would work just fine as a leather or wood punch.

Brass punches are used when you don’t want to mar up the surface of the pin you are attempting to push. Used in conjunction with a brass, wooden, or rubber hammer.
I had a whole set of brass punches in the arms room for machine gun maintenance and repair.

Yes! I've used scraps of brass to avoid marring surfaces, and appropriated a small brass rod as an improvised punch.
