No, no, no! FIRST you go the the art supply store and buy a circle template (make sure it has circles big enough). THEN you go to the hardware store. But you don't buy a hole saw. You buy a round file. Go home, get a sharp #2 pencil, draw a circle where you want the hole, drill a starter hole (as big as your largest drill bit), and start hacking with the file. It'll go faster than you think, not to mention all the gas you'll save. -- Jay Plett {cmcl2,ihnp4}!lanl!unm-la!jay {ucbvax,gatech}!unmvax!unm-la!jay unm-la!jay@lanl.ARPA
