Roland,
Sarah (my wife) does a little stained glass work now and then and has a
tool for cutting circles in glass. It consists of a tripod with rubber
feet in the center and an arm with a cutting wheel on the end. It
operates like a regular old compass. It seems that this thing would work
on curved glass as well as it does on flat glass since the center is a
tripod... You might try to find one of these at your local stained glass
shop. Heck, if you offer me enough net points, I could give it a shot
myself and send it to you if it works.
Good luck,
Mike
