Air intakes
Final cut for the main body was the ventilation holes to draw air in at the bottom. Unfortunately, the base and its 2 by 4 reinforcing struts were in the way of the jigsaw blade. I took one look and was very happy that I used screws. Out they came, off came the panel and in no time at all, they were done. The alternative was an hour with a hacksaw blade between my fingers. No way.
It was a simple process of measuring to get the vents located centrally and evenly spaced, drawing round the vents, measuring inwards from the outline to leave enough wood for the screws and just open up the area behind the actual vents, drill the four corners of the marked area to get the jigsaw blade in, cut between the drill holes and sand down the edges. Job done, panet screwed back in and voila.
