    Great idea! Might use that in the future. Same here, rain, rain,rain, a week ago Saturday was opening day for the grandson's Little League, they managed to play only one game in the past 10 days between both of them! Maybe they will get to play tonight?

    I think I would just drill as you go, good chance half the holes will never be used! Just added a 4" diameter disc to my McMaster Carr order, $14, thanks Steven.

    More tooling from AliExpress, adjustable VEE block and cutoff and grooving tools, 2mm through 5mm. Took two orders to get the cutoff tools, some of the items on the first order were canceled.
