Buttons

Benchman:

Check your local area for Jeweler Supplies or search on eBay (That's where I bought mine) for BEADING TOOLS. These make domed pieces in many small dimensions and would work perfect for punching out thousands of buttons from copper, styrene etc. Here's a set that I found with a search.

With a simple push of the tool against a hard rubber surface (I use a hockey puck) these will give you he result you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Cheers;
