   Anyway, in terms of equipment, I got our ream kerchunker for $200 used. It'll cut 500 sheets of paper.

   I got our glue binder for $50 used.

   Our laser printer is also a cheap used laser. $50 or so, and we refill the toner ourselves (go with a Brother, so the toner and drum are separate.)

   I forgot to include the glue strips in my original cost estimate. I bought a pack of them the first time I did this, I have no idea how much it cost. I haven't needed another pack yet.

   I can't imagine they're expensive. I wouldn't have gone with this method if they were.

     Now, we'll never be at maximum efficiency. I'm not an efficient person.

     Also, this method leaves you with a TON of scraps of tiny paper.

     These make great packing material. They're also useful for paper mache.

     I've heard that you can also reconstitute them in to new paper, but I've never tried that and it sounds fake. (This is mostly a joke. Making paper is very hard.)

     @ekaitz_zarraga Like I said, it was mostly used.

     The paper trimmer looks more or less like this: https://www.mybinding.com/guillo-max-guillotine-stack-paper-cutter-360-sheets.html

     We're using a Tamerica T-30 glue binder and compatible glue strips.
