Hey everyone!
Looking to put some pictures about the size of a penny on the butt end of my handle but know I don't have the hands to cut a perfect circle. Looking at the tools that cut something that small, everything seems to be expensive. Any tips on how to achieve the same outcome without the spending? Thanks much, Jon Re: Circle Cuts

scrapbooking supply stores might have some round paper punches in different sizes.

Jon, head over to Michaels and get a 3/4" paper punch. That's the exact size of a penny. Thanks, Chad Huderle Huderle Custom Rods Prior Lake, MN Re: Circle Cuts

My sister, the scrapbook guru, said 1/2, 3/4 & 1" punches are available from Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

I used the sharpened pipe thing that others mentioned just today, I needed to cut a hole in some inner tube material I was using to make a chuck for my drying motor. I used 1/2" electrical conduit. It worked great. Re: Circle Cuts

The cutters from Hobby Lobby are made for punching out paper. I have several in different diameters and use them primarily to cut rounds out of old hotel room cards. I use those as white trim bands in cork handles. They would work well for your pictures Steve Hartzell Lake Conroe - Willis, Texas Re: Circle Cuts

It dends to chip and gouge when I turn on my lathe. Thanks. Re: Circle Cuts

Glue them up with the cork and turn them using very light cuts. I don't have any pictures to show as I'm just experimenting with this technique but I'll put some up in the near future. The differences in the hardness of the materials adds difficulty. Steve Hartzell Lake Conroe - Willis, Texas Re: Circle Cuts

Thank you Steve. I've been experimenting with the material used for trim in knife handles. Same issues. I get some chatter as well, but sharp tools seem to be very important. It seems to be more of a scrapping then cutting with the plastic type substance. Still looking for something better. Considering light weight plastic plates. Re: Circle Cuts

If you use plastics wash it well Then I sand with a red scoth pad or 220-320 paper for a good bond Bill - willierods.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
