Cutting Large Circles
thedemo:
you could invest in a Rotozip kit for about $90. The kit comes with the Rotozip itself, a grinding attachment for metal and wood and a handy attachment for making circles up too I think 20 inches across.

Here's what I do. Get a 5" length of rope and nail one end of it into the center of the the soon to be circle. Nail the other end into the side of your circular saw and let her rip.
Just kidding.
OSCAR:
I have both of these and they work great.
Large circle jig
Small circle jig

You have to start that procedure off with a six pack of beer to steady your hand.
I am also just kidding, but all non-powertool related procedure should start off with a six pack.
The first link from Oscar is what I was describing. You can build a quick jig, but it is obviously better to purchase a good quality one like that. Basically the polyethylene material will be much better than fiber board at 1/4", but that doesn't mean you can't whip one out with fiber board if you need a quick jig. Just make sure it is safe.
