Do you have a lathe?
Turn spindles the diameter of the disks and slice to thickness.

Make a template by drilling holes in a hunk of mdf. Double stick the material to a backer waste board, mdf template on top and use a router with a pattern bit. Easy peasy.

Easy peasy. I think we have a winner! That method also lets me frame the piece so I see exactly what I'm getting. I think I'll sandwich the keeper piece stuck between a second piece of mdf, just to make sure it doesn't lift up and get destroyed be the router bit. Thank you!

By "The discs need to vary in size ranging from 1/2" to maybe 1 1/4"," I thought your disc size needed to be anything between (from- to) those two sizes. eg a dia of 1-1/32" or even, 17/18". Simon
