That sheet of plywood, pretty expensive these days I hear :D

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.

With shipping, the order was $1,073.  2 iPac's, lots of buttons, spinner, trackball, etc....  it adds up.  Doesn't even include the wood  ;)

Bought wood yesterday and started cutting. 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....

Posted above, got 3/4" ply for $66 a sheet.  Have a Forsner bit for the real holes, just bought it yesterday.  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.
