I was just looking at my collection of biscuit tins and wondering what I could do with them, and here is the answer. I tried this years ago, with pop cans, and the metal cracked and broke on sharp corners - I notice that you haven't made any really sharp bends, although probably pop cans aren't the best material either. (Also it is easier to get the dough to fall out of a curve than a point.) I notice that commercial cutters have a lip folded over on the top, presumably to make them more rigid and make pressing down more comfortable. Probably one could find a way to fold the metal over a couple of times. Did you use long bolts because you had them, or for some other reason? I have a device I got at a yard sale that punches a hole in light metal and crimps it, which would be good for this, or one could also use pop rivets. Thanks for an inspiring instructable - the best ones are always simple and make you wonder why you didn't think of that.

Cool, I'd like to see what that device is, cause it sounds pretty useful. Yeah, the long bolts were just there handy.
