A local kid asked me to make him a pickguard for a guitar. He had his
old one to use as a template, and he wants it made from diamondplate
aluminum. I have been working on this, and I got the stuff cut OK.
Inside radiused corners in enclosed holes were difficult, but I
finally did OK using a jeweler's saw in a scroll saw. I have to drill
a bunch of 7/64" holes, one 1/2" hole, one 7/16" hole, and 3 3/8"
holes, all working from punch marks. The stuff doesn't drill very well
using normally ground twist drills. I haven't tried punching it, but
figure it might be difficult because of the diamond texture. What is
the best way to make these holes?

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
