A laser is a little high tech but I just made a

with a drill bit ( #93 as I recall ). I use the same
drill to drill the holes in the punch blocks that I mounted
to the drive.
At this point, instead of all of the high-tech electronics, I'd
probably just opt for a punch that would punch the naked cookie with
all holes at once. It's usually easy enough to remove the cookie
from the jacket and replace it.
You could enlist the aid of the local university who usually has
tooling wandering around that would make one drool.
Then make up a bunch of floppies and flog them for $2 each on the
vintage forums.
...or you could just order a batch from Athana...
