Steelhead, I use .030" type 304 and I rough cut it with a floorstanding sheetmetal shear, then use a beltsander(60 grit?) to come up to the lines on the template. After that I bend on the lines and punch the hole with a whitney hand punch(I use a slightly oversized round hole and just tighten the wire into the wood a bit, haven't had a problem with spinning wire yet). I then take off the paper and buff the whole thing. Clean off the compound and I'm done. Kinda makes life easier to buy them, but where's the challenge in that? Plus I have gotten a bunch of small scraps for free from work one time. I haven't had to buy any yet, but I'm getting close to needing to.
