A cardboard punch trough from the side. It's got two long pieces of cardboard joined together to make a "V" at a 45° angle, and then several prices of cardboard to keep it standing. There's a signature of folded paper sitting inside it.
my signature of paper, plus the punching guide. I place the signature in the trough so that the fold is located where the cardboard meets, and then using an awl, I punch holes where my guide indicates they should go.
Did a bunch of #bookbinding yesterday, and in order to make things smoother, I made myself a punching trough out of cardboard. It was way easy than I thought it would be, and it makes punching the holes in my signatures so much easier!
