Step 5: Drill the lid
Time to make the lid.
I used one of the panels as a guide to draw the circles to be drilled out.
I used a 1 3/4" boring drill (I think that's what they're called) and it ended up being slightly too small so I Dremeled out the holes to make them a little bigger.
I suggest starting the drilling process on the middle of the lid so you aren't pressing down on the middle when there is very little material left on the outsides of the lid - you may break your lid if you try that.
