    I bought a 3/4" hole punch from a craft store. I sit and watch TV and squeeze that punch knocking out cards from cereal boxes and just about any cardboard I have.
    Great video. Thanks for posting.

    Good job Buck. I did this too, but then I found a even better cutter. I use the metal cap on a shotgun shell. Make yourself a sizer at 3/4 inch and size down the shell cap. Heat the metal cap with a torch and pull off the plastic hull. Then use a machine screw and lock nut through the middle so you can put it into your drill press. Thin metal on the shell cap cuts real easy and never goes dull.

    This is a smart idea. Way easier even than using a hollow punch mounted in a vise and whacking them out with a rubber mallet. Thanks!

    Great idea using the drill press. It has to be easier and faster and much cheaper too. In a contest, you would win "America's Grandpa" :)

    I use a 20 gauge brass, minus the plastic, with 4 slots filed in the exterior wall. Then slightly bend the 4 sections inward for clearance. I used 1/4-20 bolt, nut, lock washer hider. Chuck it in my drill press and away I go!
    Cheap. Effective etc. I couldn’t find my hole saw bit to copy his, but mine works ok too

    • @sandymilne224
      @sandymilne224 Рік тому

      Remember, a 3/4” hole saw creates an outside dimension of 3/4”. For the inside dimension to be 3/4”, a larger size saw would be needed, UNLESS the inside edge is ground away.

    See the older generation's use. Common sense and ingenuity. The result is good quality and a good feeling, unlike the newbies with good feelings/emotions and crappy results.

    I found a hole 🕳 punch block at harbor freight. It punches from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. The 3/4 works great in 12 gauge. Not as fast but in a few minutes I can have a lot of 3/4 overshot cards. And this punch set will punch metal as well for other projects.
    I use about any cardboard box I find.

    You can go to Michael's and get a 3/4" hole punch and use any card you can get your hands on, including your unwanted Xmas cards, cereal boxes, your ex-wife's photos!
    If you want to go REALLY cheaper than that, use sheep's wool or cotton balls and seal with melted candle wax.
