Any cabinet ply worth using is still over $100 per 4x8 sheet in my neighborhood. Home Cheapo stopped carrying the Purebond stuff that was so nice to work with (at $65/sheet too) for some Araucaria stuff from Peru that is nowhere near as nice- for even more $$. PLEASE spend the money on a few proper hole saws. That will be awful to continue with. And you do yourself a huge disservice if not using 3/4" plywood. |

I got 2 sheets of 3/4" maple plywood. $66 a sheet. I'll get more pictures up today. Can't find a slot cutter for my router locally so looks like I have to order it. That will slow things down a little.... |

For my mockup I used what I had (cheapo wood bit). Didn't care what it looked like as long as it made holes the right size. |
