Thank you for the kind words sqrlnts.
As for using the hole saws it works great, a really great wrist and drill bit saver is to drill a 1/4" hole all the way through 1st. then use the hole saw to finish it out. If you don't pre drill the 1/4", when the bit pops through and the hole saw teeth grab, it binds and either twists the heck out of your wrist or the bit just breaks.
Then I took a cut off blade on a grinder to get the vertical cuts just right.
I hope this info helps you
