Cutting those button holes was a bit nerve wracking with the spade bit I had.. "cut 10x faster" means "cuts crazy amounts of wood with each revolution". Thought I was going to wreck the whole thing.
I had one of those other flat bottom bits, but it took forever to drill with that.
Worked out though.
Had to do some chiseling (fun fact, I didn't know I had chisels) to get the console top to close with the joysticks mounted. And I'm not sure I'm totally happy with the length of under-mounting them, but if it bugs me I can rout out a recess under the wood to get me another 1/4", or if I really want I can do the same on the top to get another 3/4" (though bolts will be visible).
Now wire everything up, get it all running with a monitor, then work on getting the TV installed and running.
Then I can worry about artwork.
