Thanks everyone. I already tried tin snips, and can only cut straight. A porta-band is on my wish list for sure. I couldn't afford to buy new stuff, and it would violate the idea behind the project. I do have a scroll saw, but don't know if I can get a metal blade for it. Cutting squares and using the scroll saw is probably my best bet.

for the squares. As mentioned clamp a bunch together. BUT take those rough squares and place between 2 pcs of wood. Keeps the ends from bending and makes all cuts equal.
Maybe something along the lines of a gasket hole punch? I'm assuming it's fairly mild steel.
I see Kazoo beat me to the punch. [ROFL1] Get it???
Holes are 1.5" and 3.25" so I imagine the punches would be expensive and I'd never use them again. I like the idea of putting a few together and using the grinding wheel. It's an art project so consistency isn't the most important and would be a-okay.
You guys are useful, thank you.

I did remember that I have a press, so the right size punches would be easy enough. I'll investigate when I have time.
