of each X crossing the battery holes using your center punch.

bottom of each hole.
- After you are finished drilling all of the holes, lightly sand the
battery holder.
- Wipe the battery holder with a damp cloth to remove any remaining
sawdust.

Notes
|
- The larger holes are very difficult to drill. It is easier to drop
the press to a slow speed to give more control and improve the accuracy.
I do this for all of the holes.
- These make great gifts. I made 20 of these to give away last Christmas.
It only took me a couple of hours to drill them all, and a couple of
days to wait for stain and clear coat to dry.
