This step prepares the middle boards to accommodate the electronics.

If you messed up in the last step, the wood isn't lost, use it here!

For this step, all you need to do is cut a hole in each of the middle boards slightly larger than the size of the LED matrix, so all of the wires and electronics fit inside.

I did this by drilling out the remaining supports of a failed front board and using a chisel to clean it up. Repeat this for as many boards as you wish, I used 2.
