I had breakfast with a friend of mine today and afterwards stopped at the bulk foods store behind the restaurant. Tada - cardboard cake plates in perfect circles!!!!! from 6 inches to 16 inches!!!!
the largest one was 70 cents!!!! if i had to put a quarter in the cussing jar for every bad word i muttered trying to draw a perfect circle it would have been a lot more than 70 cents!!! also got a 10 inch one for possible potholders/tortilla bags and it was only 35 cents!!!
Though the pattern was for a 17 inch i think the 16 inch will work just fine. It will just be a little smaller!

Ok, for me this is easy. I make circles out of plywoods all day long for the lap frames. Is this something I should make and sell? I could cut wood templates for any size circle out of 1/8" or 1/4" stock. What sizes would be best?
Please send a PM or post advise. I am always looking for something new to make.
