Tip for June 2006:
Craft Punches

Craft punches are a great tool for making multiples of plastic shapes. Stamp sizes range from 3/8" to 3" diameters, and are available in dozens of different shapes. Now you can make custom wheel inserts, trim pieces, pedals, and more: simply slide a sheet of .010" - .015" into the punch and hit the button, and you'll have a perfectly shaped piece every time. There are several manufacturers out there, but so far I have been very happy with the results of the punches from The Punch Bunch (be sure to check out their Moon Equipment "foot" pedal!).
