With this simple home-made tool that is easy to make with your own hands, it’s convenient to punch round holes in various materials. For example, film, leather, paper, etc. For the manufacture of this homemade product you will need ordinary pliers (you can even old) and a bolt with nuts: one simple, the other elongated.
The scope of this home-made tool (you can call it a punch or hole punch) is not limited to only homemade needlework. It is also useful at the cottage site to drill holes of the same diameter in a thick film.
The main stages of work
The design of the home-made punch is very simple, therefore, its manufacture will not take much time. So, if you use old rusty pliers, then first you need to clean them from rust with a grinder with a petal circle.
After that, we screw two nuts on the bolt, and then attach them to the ends of the lips of the pliers and weld. Then we process the welding spots with a grinding nozzle for a drill or an electric drill.
The result is a very simple and practical device to use, with which you can punch holes in different materials (paper, cardboard, fabric, plastic film, wallpaper, etc.).
