RE: [GZG] Turnwheel Templates for Button Makers



Yeah. I have some of those. I would not recommend them for things like foamcore. The bits are generally not very sharp/precise and will rip the edges to shreds. :)

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-)

Hi Jerry,

Go back to the craft store.  Buy a circle cutter. :)

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
