Oh, I've got several, but, as Roger pointed out, I quickly run into the
problem of 'too thick'.  (8-)

I was just wondering if anybody had heard of hole punches being
available
that don't require an industrial press to use, for example.  Or, heck,
just
being able to buy pre-cut foamcore circles, as opposed to having to buy
the
full sheet and going to town on it.

That's one reason why I ended up going with buttons -- I built a set of
50 bases in under three hours, including printing, figuring out how to
make
a button, and cutting them out of the paper.  I probably could have gone
even faster if I wasn't watching a football game at the time.  (8-)
