[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 5027691, member: 570419"] What is your method for cutting holes with your jigsaw? It makes me cringe to see them and I want to see them get better! I'm not just saying that your hole cut outs **** to be negative but to motivate you to want to make them better. Unless your jigsaw is just out of control fast and there is a lot of jitter in the blade, then you should be able to do quick, painless, and much cleaner holes with a jigsaw. Using a home made compass, you can trace the hole cutout with a permanent marker. Once you get the marker laid down, just move slowly and keep the blade in the middle of the black circle. You should also never be pushing the jigsaw; the saw should cut the hole without you feeling like you're moving it besides to keep a steady turn. The enclosures are looking pretty good though. I don't care for the hand rounded edges being as large of a radius as they are due to it being more obvious it was done by hand and not a router but I do appreciate the work involved with that.
