This is a great review. I will be picking one of these punches up. I too love to make my own paper journals and books. My daughter and I had a “once in a life time trip” planned to Japan this past April. It was canceled due to the travel ban. We were going to shop the craft stores. Japan is known for their great paper, washi tape, and handmade journals and tools. Joe keep up the great videos! More book making please.
I corner cut laminated playing cards. My issue with the cheaper chinese generic corner punches is they blunten after a few hundred punches.. I wonder how durable this one is
I just got one of these today and I'm using it to round the corners of 5mil laminate sheets with 1 sheet of paper inside and it did a great job on 4 corners and then it stopped working. maybe I need something more heavy duty
@@Joe_VanCleave only had 4 inside but I cleaned it anyway. I think the vaccine cardboard combined with the 5mil laminate was just to thick for it. BUT I tried regular paper and 5mil laminatre and it cuts fine. I think Ill keep it.
I like it. From a review "According to the packaging, this punch can't trim more than 4 sheets of regular paper (which the manufacturer defines as 64gsm)"
It's nice to see a man demonstrate this kind of thing on RUclips for a change.

make a video about something you are interested in and it will be interesting to see :)
Joe is great!
Awesome video Joe. Are you going to be doing any manual typewriter videos soon?

Try cleaning out the chads from the insides.
