diy mfc101 labels

[sundance_kiddsg]

having suffered a fairly painful paper cut on my left index putting me out of commission guitar-wise, decided to work on something i have been meaning to for some time now.
- printed switch names on glossy label paper and stuck it onto a magnetic sheet;
- pin marked to guide hole punch;
- punched holes;
- cut to size;
- trimmed corners using corner cutter;
- arranged on mfc101
here are the results:

took about 2.5 hours from start to end.
wished the hole edges were tidier though

How do you punch the holes ?

nothing like yours, bro!
still waiting for your stuff to come online..

How do you punch the holes ?

with a set of hollow punch.
the small holes are 12.5mm while the larger holes are 16mm
see link for the same type of punch i used:
SE 7908LP 9-Piece Hollow Punch - Hand Tool Hole Punches - Amazon.com
the centering pin helped to line up the holes nicely.
but the cuts weren't very clean i have to say, dunno how guys like toadfish do it...

Time, a lot of care (takes me over 2 hours to make a single set, and that's after practising it over and over for the past 3 years!) and machinery.... heavy, expensive, industrial strength machinery

Seriously, kudos to you, I think you did a great job. Two thumbs up!
