Step 2Drilling

Drilling
Now we need to make holes in the pages, i opted for using s drill, rather than sitting there poking holes in pages.

The pages don't need to be put inside each other, i just placed one fold ontop of another.

Picture 1 - Create a drilling template for your paper size, Cut a piece of card to the same length as you pages, Mark 20mm from either end, then divide this into three sections to give you two more drilling points.

Picture 2 - Create another piece of card for the underneath (no need for markings on this one)

Picture 3 - Place a clamp on either side of one of the drilling points, make sure there is no movment

Picture 4 - Crank your power tool up to about 3 thirds, if you have it too fast it make cause too much heat creating an 'internal fire' - i used a 1mm drill bit. Drill away, be sure to put plenty of pressure on, but don't rush.

Picture 5 - Another shot of the clamps, and drilling
