So how small can you make a circle with that?

I need about 8 of them right now and if it goes well, it could turn into a monthly thing.

3/8ths round bar is not much more than wire. if you take a couple of pieces of wood, cut them to app 7 1/2 in dia. attach to table, put stop in place to slide rod into, cut to 3 feet or use full length, wrap steel around wood. travel past starting point; the pieces can be tacked to hold the eight, then cut. cut to size. half inch reduction in dia. (ball park) is for spring back. you can use pipe, sheaves whatever. i would try to do it cold no heat.

8 inch diameter rings can probably be ordered.
I originally thought about cutting a piece of plywood to the size I need then cut one over sized to screw to it and then mount it on the welding table to hold in place. I just would like something a little easier and more permanent that is capable of bending many sizes without a lot of work to change around.

I never thought about buying the rings... Might be a st effective way to do it... Thanks
