You can't beat an Allpax gasket cutter for making end discs. It will cut through 1/8 thick cardboard with ease. You can adjust it to cut any size of disc and once you get into the hang of using you can cut hundreds of discs in an hour.

You can often find them second hand on ebay.

Thanks for that Bangkokpyro, good suggestion. Heritage Steam Supplies and one or two boiler spares places sell them new over here: not cheap, but likely worth it if you're making lots of cylinder shells/mines.

Yes they are not cheap when new but you can find them on Ebay secondhand.

I bought mine for 40 quid and I recon it has paid for itself many times over already.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for one  .
