DIY Hole puncher.

[DizzyGuy]

Ok... so here's an idea I got off a a thread awhile back... someone on here did something similiar...What you'll need~Cardboard *I used a box I got from Social Smoke~About 50 pushpins... I used 43~Box cutter~Superglue~Pen~BowlOk... first off, here's the set up...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000292.jpg[/img][img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000297.jpg[/img]First, undo the box and lay it flat...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000293.jpg[/img]Take off the packing tape, ball it up, and throw it to the cat so she'll leave you the eff alone...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000294.jpg[/img]Take two sections of the box and trace the bowl onto one of them...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000296.jpg[/img]Next, put the pushpin into the cardboard to figure out where you are gonna put it and then take it out, superglue it, and put it back...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000298.jpg[/img]Doing this ensures that you can get the pushpins as close as possible with out worrying about getting superglue everywhere. A few extra holes in the bottom won't hurt anything. Next, finish up filling the circle with push pins... and I recommend using some of the extra cardboard as a workspace...[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000298.jpg[/img][img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000299.jpg[/img]Here's the final pics... I cut up an extra square so that my poker won't poke everything when not being used... esp. handy for traven [img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000301.jpg[/img][img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000300.jpg[/img][img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/IM000302.jpg[/img]

Cool idea; you could make different grids for different bowls too. I may have to try this.

This is the easy way to what I really want to do... in an ideal world, I'd get just the metal parts fromt he push pins and melt them into a flat plastic piece so I could put a few more pins and do more of a pattern

[Whiteshadow]

are the holes thick enough? i personally like to use larger holes, so maybe using thin nails or like industrial tooth picks might work as wellgood thinking though, i'm totally stealing this idea and passing it off as my own

[DizzyGuy]

well, I use a pushpin anyways usually... so it's thick enough for me... but yeah, you can use bigger materials if you wish. I'm sure it'd work just as well

[Anpu]

i'd just swivvle it a lil and push it down again to doubble it up... that should be enough

[DizzyGuy]

Like I said, I got it from an old thread And I just tried out the swivel action, that does make the holes nicely bigger
