Re: [GZG] Turnwheel Templates for Button Makers



Heh. Ok fair enough. I have used my circle cutter to do cardboard circles using cardboard like the backs on paper tablets, but haven't done anything thicker.

You could always get litko to laser cut them for you, but you would then likely spend an absurd amount per disk. :)

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-)

Hey everybody,

Something else people were asking about at GZG-ECC and I just remembered to put it up as well:

http://www.warpfish.com/jhan/ft/turnwheel.pdf

These turning wheels are meant for bases or for little turning guides for
 FT.  They're designed for "Badge-A-Minit" button makers, but, with a
little scaling, could probably be used for other button makers as well --
or just cut'em out and glue them to your favourite circles of cardboard.
(Which is a heck of a lot cheaper then buttons, if a tad more time
consuming.  (8-) )

Though, if anybody out there has figured out a way to cut out consistent circles out of cardboard or foamcore, and to do it quickly, I'd be much
obliged if they'd share the idea. (8-) (i.e. something faster then tracing a template with a knife...)


Thanks, JGH
