    Valia - the best answer for your tool is a pancake die. It is a
    piece of steel cut with your design in such a way that when metal is
    inserted in the tongue it will cut out your design. Dar Shelton makes
    these for use with a hydraulic press. If you don't have access to a
    press, he has a service that cuts them for you. He is a real
    character located in Albuquerque near the college. His website is
    www.sheltech.net and he explains the process ever so much better than
    I can. He also makes some outrageously cool wire sculpture. The dies
    cut so clean that there is minimum cleanup required. 

Judy Hoch - a satisfied customer, both of dies and sculpture
