SoundDoc:
You don't need a press. A greenly hole puch is a 2 part punch with a bolt in the middle, you drill a 3/8 or 1/2" hole in the centre, put the die with the bolt on one side with the bolt through the hole, and the other half the die goes on the other side. Lots of arm twisting later, you have a hole!

You can also get imitation GreenLee's for a bit cheaper. Another way, if your only talking 16ga steel is to use a standard hole saw, and cutting oil. The hole saws going to take a beating, but its still cheaper then buying a punch, although 1 1/8" punch is around $30.
