Actually, you should be able to cut a hole on the end by carefully carving a relief channel in the wood for the rolled lip. You'd probably need to be a bit more careful, though, since the rolled lip isn't solid inside and the metal would be somewhat more likely to tear there.
By the way, I've never tried it but I suspect you'd be able to cut a hole in almost any irregular surface by casting the material in something hard that can be later softened or dissolved ... like drywall plaster or hard candy. 73, Dave AB7E David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > Good idea David and one I'll bear in mind, but you can't clamp like > that into an Altoids tin, because it has a rolled lip, come to think > of it, would a 1/2 hole go in the side?
