I admire your ability to do this with arthritis! Do you think a Crop-a-Dile might be easier? It punches holes through chipboard fairly easy. (I'm not sure what material you are punching through.) It looks painful to watch you put so much pressure on your hands and arms.
@MsKathy07 Yes!! I bought the big crop-a-dile and I think it will be much easier now! Leah and I didn't like the way it attached the eyelets, but we kept it because we love the way it punches holes like a knife thru butter compared to how I was doing it in this video. The Japanese screw punch works great on card stock, tho. ;)
Would if I could, but can't stand for any length of time--arthritis in knees and hips and also plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. Oh well. You make do with what life gives you, right? :):)

It's a Japanese screw punch. Martha Stewart makes a screw punch now that is much cheaper. They work best on paper, tho. This was too thick really. :)

What tool are you using for punching the holes? I would like to buy one!
Thanks.
