Default Scroll saw secrets for making neat holes

Baltic Birch plywood comes in many thicknesses from about 1/16 inch to over
1" and it comes in 5' X 5' sheets. It's high quality stuff with many thin
layers and no voids and it cuts great on a scroll saw. If you are going the
scroll saw route you might try to find a source for this near you. Cabinet
shops, specialty lumber yards, and plywood distributors are the places to
look with the latter being the best choice if you can find one. I
personally would go with a circle cutter fixture on a router and a spiral
bit as the holes will be more concentric, but it's your choice.

Ideally I would like to find 7/16" or even 3/8" thick MDF instead of
the crap plywood, though 1/2" plywood will also work.


If you have a Home Depot near you, they usually have partial
sheets (2' x 4') of various thicknesses of MDF as well as
plywood.
