I have lots of bolt and trim holes to weld up, and, want to find somebody who sells such things to blank off and weld into the holes, meaning 18swg metal discs like washers without the holes or, even washer punch outs, these could save me a LOT of work, I need discs from 8mm right thru to 25 mm with sizes in between

You need to find a local engineering firm with a flypress . There will be a good chance then will have whole punches for it of different sizes . They may even have a load of cut out circles in the bin under it .

Or a place with a laser cutter.
There is probably a place making perforated steel sheet somewhere chucking bin loads of little discs in for scrap

There is probably a place making perforated steel sheet somewhere chucking bin loads of little discs in for scrap I have worked in a few engineering shops over the years, the best for obtaining these blanks would have been a place called associated perforators and weavers, they made every type of woven metal mesh and screen, plus hundreds of different punched perforated sheet, that place is now history...... |

For the trim holes, you can use the punch outs from a punch/joggler tool and drill the holes out to the matching size. They're 6mm but you'll want a gap to weld anyway

Give me a list of sizes and I will see what punches I have 🙂

If it's only around the 8mm ones, then just stick a block of copper or aluminium behind it and plug it up.
Anything bigger, fill it with a washer, and then plug that hole up. Simple.
