The problem with retrofitting carpets is cutting the perfectly round hole to install the grommets. So how to cut these without having to sell you a large punch to do the job and ship it to you.
Well, here's a down and dirty way to do this for less than $5. What I did was take a 1" dia piece of threaded pipe and a cap. I ground the one edge to a point, put the cap on the other side and used a hammer and a cutting block to do the following. Any better ideas, post em here! Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)
