[TheForge] circles in 24ga brass

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I cut a lot of circles out or 14ga and 16 ga steel. I have tin patterns (old 
duct work) that I trace around with a fine marker and then cut out on a 
Beverly shear.  I then flatten the edge with the treadle hammer and clean up 
the edges on a belt sander. Most of my cutting is done on the B3 for 
something as thin as 24ga a B2 might be better, on my B3 thin material tends 
to fold instead of cut. I'm sure it could be adjusted for thinner material 
but then it might be too tight for the heavier stuff.
