Here's what I do I use double sided PC board material. I design the
Manhattan style PC board I want on paper with the islands or buildings
(squares and rectangles for pads) clearly defined making sure that the
spacing between the components I am going to solder is correct. I then
use good quality tin snips or hacksaw and cut out the islands or
buildings from more double sided PC board material. I transfer the
pattern from paper to a PC board so I know where the pads will go. I
then use Krazy Glue to glue the pads down with one or two very small
drops. I then solder the parts from pad to pad or pads to the ground plane.

Their points specifically produce the circles you want. The tip and
the OUTER edge of the cutting face contact the metal at the same time.
I can send you a photo of one if you need.
