a- a round "Punch & Die" set (from now on P&D Set)
b- plasticard sheet of the appropriate tickness
c- scrap plastic/metal tubing
d- a small hammer
e- a piece of scrap cardboard, mousepad or a coaster (you can easily steal it to your mother/wife/etc.)
f- sandpaper or emery boards (also in this case you can easily steal them fom your mother/wife/etc. stock)
How to:
1- Put the "P&D Set" on the scrap cardboard/mousepad/coaster
2- Locate on the "P&D Set" set the "hole" with the right external size of your washer
3- Dig in your scrap plastic/metal tubing depot and look for a piece of tubing which exactly fits in the "hole" previously identified and that can accomodate internally the bit of the "P&D Set" of the diameter you've chosen for the inner washer hole
4- cut the matching piece of tubing at a rough lenght of 2.5cm (1 inch) and sand/file it until it accomodates smoolthly in the above mentioned "hole" and can accept the other "P&D Set" set bit
5- insert the plastic sheet in the "P&D Set"
6- insert the tubing in the right "P&D Set" and the right bit inside the tubing and hit its head with the hammer to make the inner washer hole (try not to do it too hard to avoid to destroy the underlying furniture)
7- take off the bit, take off the tubing, and insert the right bit in the "P&D Set" and again hit its head with the hammer to cut out the washer (not too hard...)
8- repeat steps 6 and 7 until you've got the right number of washers
Ciao and happy modeling everybody!
