I found this on Amazon:

They're made with a staple-less stapler. A lot of teachers are beginning to use them because they save money and they're fairly cheap.

Not in the class so I’m not entirely sure if this is exactly what you’re talking about, but here’s a staple-free stapler . Other staple-free staplers are available.

My mom used to use a staple free stapler

No, that's what this is for:

Coin Flip Assortment on Amazon, can also search for specific sizes by just searching Mylar 2x2. Should also get a Flat Clinch Stapler I bought the linked one and love it for stapling flips.

The original review

>Each issue would cost around $5

I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I just looked at the first issue...and it shouldn't cost anywhere near that much to get them printed. It looks like you want it to be 4/4 100lb gloss on the whole thing and you could get that printed for about $0.83 per issue (2000 copies, 8.5 x 5.5)...and that's just through jak prints (they do good work but can be kind of expensive for short runs on certain things). 4over would probably be cheaper, but I can't check because they froze my account (I think they're running off of a bunch of igens for almost everything, but their work is consistently decent and inexpensive).

But if you really wanted to save money, you could just do them like 2600 magazine....get the covers printed professionally, do everything else on 20lb bond w/ a laser printer, then saddle-stitch them at home with one of these. Though, if you did that, you couldn't do a bleed like you have on the current copy and, if you managed to trim it (which would be a bitch and wouldn't be worth it) you'd have to account for the shift on each page. So maybe that would be something to keep in mind for issue 2 if you decided to go that route.

Dire stapler.

If you have bulletin boards, you could get one of these staple pullers for exactly $5. I guess even if you don't have bulletin boards, you could still get one and then just have it around to offer to coworkers who might need one, or straight up give it to someone. I've been longing for one of these for years, but never really remembered to buy one of my own. They're amazing and very useful!

Have you thought about just doing it zine/booklet-style? Printer-paper size folded in half and held together by staples? You could do it yourself for just the cost of the prints and a special stapler.

I bought one of these last year and it's been good to the pharmacy.

Amazon has long reach staplers, I bought one last week for 5.99

Here's what I use for making my own comics/zines - it requires a bit of investment for tools, but once you're set up it's SUPER easy.

Scribus (open source) for layouts/typesettings

Adjustable length stapler

Paper slicer

If you make your booklets as a standard "fold in half and staple" type of book, then you won't even need the slicer, which can be a little pricey if you don't find it used. The hardest part is honestly just the setup to make sure that when you print and bind it, that the pages are all in the correct order. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Good luck!

pretty sure they need this 5000 dollar stapler: http://www.amazon.com/Office-Impressions-Economy-Strip-Stapler/dp/B0087HVTYY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RAHATPA3AZXW7NJYFHX

The one on the left is a staple from a flat clinch stapler. It staples flatter. I use one of these.

Does this stapler qualify?

(Not one here but similar)
It's more or less a crimper as staplers technically make holes.

They are neat

Just know that Best Buy may have better prices at times.

You wouldn't show them this ad to price match of course

Something like this obviously wouldn’t work for everything, but probably pretty useful in a pinch, if you don’t mind the bulk.

Better yet, use an easy and just hit it very lap

My major is secondary education with a math emphasis. But I may be switching to a general math major after this semester is over. I should graduate spring of '16, but we'll see how that goes.

I'll come back tonight and link. :) I'm on mobile right now and it's hard.

EDIT: Link because I always forget to get staples to staple my assignments together, so I'm always that student who turns in their 4+ page papers loose leaf. ugh.

I've been having some issues with hand pains lately and I think some of it is related to the three letter stapler use. I got the OK from my FSM to pick up a couple of nicer staplers for me and my partner to use. This electric one for most simple bags:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C4TZQUS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and this manual one for when I need more precision or need to staple through heavier paper.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IFLK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've only put around 15-20 sheets max through the electric one but it's had zero issues so far. The Bostitch uses standard staples and has not jammed or mis-fired a staple yet, I've done as many as 30 sheets with no problems whatsoever. Really happy with both of these.

For those saying that they prefer the notebooks, get one of these for $10 and make your own: http://www.amazon.com/Sparco-Stapler-Capacity-Standard-SPR01316/dp/B001B0GWKU/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1395679089&sr=1-5

Not OP but this is the set without any extras at a bargain $10. This is the set with other bits and pieces $14 so worth it if you need any of the other bits.

If you're UK, this is the bare set for a paltry £3.09 - how unusual to find something cheaper in the UK than in the USA!

I tried doing a basting stitch by hand for my first project with it, but it took hours and left me cramping up for days afterward. When starting my current project, I wound up getting frustrated and breaking out my long-reach stapler (pretty sure it's this one, but I'm not at home right now to check). It's working surprisingly well. I was afraid it'd tear the Aida if I put too much tension on it, but it's been on there close to six weeks and I haven't noticed any issues.

I'm late, but I've started keeping a small stapler in my backpack for projects etc that have to be turned in as a physical copy incase I forgot to staple it at home. The one I linked comes with like 1000 staples, and holds a couple stacks in the bottom

Congrats on the sail and good video as usual. I've lost track of how many projects I've done and I still sew stuff to itself on occassion so you shouldn't worry about that. A couple of tips you may or may not find helpful - to help feed the slick dacron on that LSZ-1 I like to tighten the pressure foot WAY down. The half way point like where you were is great as a general setting and I actually back it off a bit from there when doing webbing. Second, I think the easiest way to do your tapes (luff or leech) is with a stapler. For luff tape you need a stapler intended for a hundred sheets or more, not for the strength but so the underside of the tool clears to cords in the luff tape so the staples set correctly. It's infinitely easier than basting tape and ultimately cheaper. Staplers (big or little) are also really nice on sunbrella projects where the basting tape doesn't hold as well as it should. I almost always resort to one when doing something like the small circle on the top of a winch cover. Welcome to the wonderful world of marine canvas, I look forward to future projects.

Edit: Something like this for sails - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006HUPU2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480167018&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=large+capacity+stapler

A couple of things to think of-I’ll add more as I think of them.

1. Consider how heavily your upholstered furniture will be used. If it will receive light use, go ahead and try to do it yourself if you are game. If it’s going to receive daily use I would take it to an upholsterer. Home sewing machines are not made to put heavy-duty thread through or advance heavy fabrics through. Mom burned out her very expensive Viking doing upholstery.
   
   You may get it to work for a while, but it’s hard on the machine.
   
   That said there’s a lot of upholstery you can do with no sewing. If that’s the case, have at it!
   
   
2. You can’t live without this tool. Makes life so much easier when you screw up placing staples.
   
   https://www.amazon.com/Osborne-124-Staple-Remover-Upholstery/dp/B00JU4ZIG8?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3
   
   
3. If you’ve never upholstered try to keep cushions square instead of curved. That said, soften the lines and edges with cotton batting.
   
   
4. Buttons are awesome. Make sure they are heavy duty.
   
   
5. Consider the size of your upholstered part when selecting the fabric. If you are doing a small cushion, choose fabric that has a pattern small enough to see in its entirety. Choose large patterns for large areas. Also consider the direction of the pattern if it has a lot of lines. Make sure you buy enough fabric so that you can run it the way it’s supposed to go.
   
   
6. Mom used one of these to cut foam. So easy and you can shape foam with it, too.

I got this set for myself and it is pretty nice for a beginner. I really like having a good case and all that extra stuff fit in it really well.

Maybe this
Or this could work

Aren't they like $30 at Staples??

The thing I love about zines is the infinite ways in which they can be made.

I draw mine digitally (used to use ink, switched to digital a few years ago), print them at home in black and white, on 8.5x11 (somtimes 5.5x4.25) with a duplexing Brother printer, staple them with a booklet stapler, crease them with a bone folder, then distribute them in various ways.

I used to run a zine subscription where I sent out a new, original zine each month to people who subscribed for ~$40. I also table at zine fests across the country. And I donate zines to any/all local zine libraries I can find.

I have illustration zines, lettering zines, and poetry zines, and I have noticed that poetry zines (aka "chapbooks") usually sell way less. I think it's because (in the U.S. at least) poetry is just undervalued in general (unfortunately).

Happy Cake Day!

You didn't mention a dollar limit, so I'm not sure which one to link, so here's like five. One Two Three Four Five

Number five actually has the word "Cake" in it!

I've got one of the swing line ruler staplers, if you pay shipping I'll donate to your collection.

> What... exactly... constitutes gourmet staples?

They're called "heavy duty staples", and with the right stapler you can practically bind books with them. >200 sheets in one ka-chunk.

Dat's some hard shit, man.

Alright cool cat, take a look at that. Will save you money and be totally awesome. Forever!

If you’re worried about the scars:
Instruments GB- 10 x Skin Staplers, 35 Preloaded Staples, Fisrt aid, Medical ,Vet use, CE FDA Approved https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWC10SL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VFhDDbJG4173E

Minimizes scar appearance by approximating wound edges; does hurt like a bitch while they are in, though. You only need to keep them in for deep dermis cuts for about 3-5 days. I haven’t tried wound staples with hypodermis cuts yet.

I think you might be better off looking for another one with a similar mechanism. E.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=push+staple+remover

One example: https://www.amazon.com/Bostitch-Professional-Magnetic-Remover-40000M-BLK/dp/B0006HVU4M

A Staple less stapler is much more my thing. Only for up to 6 sheets bit still.

This is the one that I used - sorry about the Canadian link, I live in Canada, but I'm sure you can find equivalents in your country. I used the product like, 5-7x that time (not just once or twice). There's enough for you to use on your phone as well. The thing is, it protects against minor scratches but it doesn't cover your existing minor scratches.

Did you know there are stapleless staplers?

When we made receipt books at my old job we would use big staples and black paper tape to cover the staples. That would make an attractive book.

I don't remember the brand or style of tape, but gaffers tape might work.

I use a tiny flat stapler for mine. Less than $6 on Amazon and it fits nicely with the rest of my supplies. Swingline Tot Stapler with Built-In Staple Remover, Pre-Packed with 1000 Swingline Standard Staples, Blue (S7079172) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DQYCFW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dFvbzb3K3S8R1

I prefer the long flat ones like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Swingline-Stapler-Adjustable-Locking-S7034121P/dp/B0006HUPRA/ref=sr_1_3?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1449595377&sr=1-3&keywords=booklet+stapler). A lot of copy shops have them laying around to use

pentel's rsvp pens are my favorite and they come in a variety of colors. i find that the different colors help me retain information when note-taking/studying in general.

a phone charger for sure. amazonbasics has cables that work really well for the iphone! amazon has a six month warranty for their amazonbasics things (i think they still do?), so if your cable frays or breaks or whatever, you can just send amazon a message and they'll replace it for you. i think that's awesome since the worst part about having an iphone is how easy the charging cables can fall apart.

also, i think carrying around a mini stapler in your backpack is a great idea. they're handy and cute. bonus: you'll be class hero when a paper is due and everyone is scrambling for a stapler.

usb flash drives are nice and handy, but i'd recommend investing in a portable external harddrive as well. the 2tb ones run about $70-$90 and they're dooooope. you didn't say what you're studying, but i'm a student who works with digital media so i'm constantly transferring large files and an external drive has been of great use. i have this one.

The oleophobic coating helps make water bead up so it's easier to wipe away; it also helps cut down on fingerprints.

Easiest way to check is to see if you can dig your finger into the scratch. If yes, then the glass is damaged. If no, then it's likely that it's just the coating that has a scratch.

Buy some of this stuff on Amazon, and apply it to see if it removes the scratch.

I got this one http://amzn.to/2zXDEZy seems to work well. I put it on the front and back of my S8

This stapler. It's at $34 now. What a bargain.

I'm not, but my college bookstore has sold this for years. Makes the same style of punch

that was easy
