    I guess it is my turn to pose 2 questions:  Does anyone know of a
    source for a "disc" cutter that cuts triangles, squares, ovals, etc? 
    Certainly others have wanted this before, but I cannot find one. 

    Secondly,  how do you test an item to determine if it is sterling
    silver or silver plate?  I found an unusual handmade-looking bowl in
    a thrift shop that cleaned up beautifully like silver.  I'd like to
    add a half-round edge to it, but fear I'll ruin it, if it is plated. 
    I look forward to any and all replies.  Many thanks.
