Panel Openings - Part 5

This blog covers the finishing of the panel openings.

Construction
With the panel drilled for all the circular holes time had come to mark out all the square holes. Using the drawing in combination with a square and ruler all the holes were marked onto the panel surface. 

Experience has shown that by marking out the edges of the holes with masking tape located on the edge of the marked line, yield's a more accurate result.

Cutting holes with a scroll saw

Once all the holes were rough cut with a scroll saw, then opens were dressed carefully using a combination of flat file's, a vernier to achieve a accurate profile. Final edges were created using a fine flat file with a safety edge. [side teeth ground off]
