:idea:Well like many others, I hate to throw away pricey material. I am using 9 lb 100% cotton from BACO, and haven't thrown the scraps in the trash. Today I reading threads about recycled paper, ink and other sources that may be abrasive, then the light bulb lit up, instead of using news print OPW, uses the leftovers for OPW.

A good friend uses the hard material that is used for BIBLE covers,though I forget the name of it right now.I guess that in any publishing business there would be quite a bit of scraps,and it is put to a good use for that.
He also modifies a set of Chinese punches and sharpens them and uses it in a drill press.
Pretty neat stuff to know...:coffee:

Jon K,
The punch you have pictured next to the OPWs, where did you get it?
I no longer have access to a machine room and things that I used to build, I now have to purchase.
Thanks

StrawHat,
BACO makes it. Pricey but pays for itself rather than buying wads, and quiet and easier than banging the hammer.

Okay, so it took me two days to figure out that BACO is Buffalo Arms! [smilie=1:
And they let me use firearms.
