LSN2meBoom916 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 i've never carpeted a box before So you never plan on doing it?If you never try it, you'll never be any good at it. Practice makes perfect bro. well i have a circle guide, and i have a router, just havent gotten around to attaching the 2 of them yet, but for those cuts to be free hand i think they came out near perfect. If you say so. Step 1: Draw a Circle....If you did that this time...draw a BETTER circle next time. Step 2: Cut ALONG the line in a CURVING MOTION...not straight lines every 2-3". Step 3: If it's not "round" you should invest in a semi-circular / "1/2 round" RASPING FILE and make your cut about 1/8"-1/4" IN from ur line, and then just "trim" back to ur line w/ the file. Otherwise get ur lazy butt in gear and setup that router....them holes are teh lame bro. I tell you these things in hopes you will take it to heart, make use of the info, and become a better installer/fabricator as a result. Don't get discouraged bro, just keep at it, TRY HARDER (no half assing!) and PRACTICE. ~Chris.

Forevrbumpn Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 hell, one thing I have caught myself doing in the past many times, well, I would say like 4-5 times, is use either a wood stick with a center point, and a sharpened nail at the other side, use it as a compass, keep spinning it, and you will get a perfect hole cut out ---- eventually... about 5mins a hole better than a jigsaw, thats for sure I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
