Rounder Cutting Tool

[Chief Filipino]

I actually like that idea Oltoot! I could easily find some pipe and grind it down. I don't know that I'd take it so far as to heat treat though. I might just try one and use a board and hammer/rubber mallet to pound it. Thanks!

here is a tool for cutting circles. In is supposed to work on leather too.  I bought one about two years ago but not sure if it is the same brand. It looks similar though.

Hope this helps.

Huh.  This gave me an idea to try out.  I work at a frame shop and have access to an oval hole mat cutter.  It's adjustable to make ovals/circles, but with a 45 degree beveled edge.  I probably could figure out a way to cut straight edges with it too, I'm going to experiment a bit with it.
