I've got all my parts ready to go, just wondering the best way to cut the port holes needed in the Altoids tin. I know I'm going to screw it up, so i bought a few tins.

in answer to your actual question... small drills and needle files usually work best

Yep, this. Tiny drill bit for pilot holes, and small hand files to expand into the proper shape. Guide will be up tonight to show how I prefer to do it.

Its happening. It's actually happening.

OHH YES!
People, calm yourselves, calm yourselves. Yes, It has been confirmed, the guide will be up tonight!
Yes, after half a year, it's here!!!!! (BTW, no pressure wermy. This is mostly just a joke, pretty much everyone is not going to complain if you need more time on the guide. We want a good video, after all!
