    Got a lot accomplished today. Not the least of which was finding the wiring glitch that caused intermittent "no start" on the truck.

    I have this 22 gauge steel that I need to cut these patterns out of, but I'm not sure what will be the best way. I don't have a plasma cutter. Any ideas? Right now I'm thinking of making straight cuts to make squares and more manageable pieces then either a dremel cut off wheel or jig saw with a metal blade and then grinder to clean up the edges. Lend me your ideas. I thought about a hole saw, but I don't want holes in the center. Hole saws without the center and a drill press would probably be nice right now.

    Nibbler maybe.

    Water jet definitely.

    Those kind of parts are stamped.

    You got big job ahead with those. Drill press with hole saws with pilots removed.

    If you can cut the squares accurately could clamp several square together and grind corners off to make circles. Lots of free hand work makes consistency harder to manage.

    I was thinking aviation snips, but doing that many free-hand would suck.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
