Hollowing out the back

I started hollowing out the back today. I transferred the graduation lines from the templates to the back. I also drilled with the dowel method the depth indicators to roughly desired thickness + 2 mm. The depth stop on my drill press is quite flimsy so I added another one made from a piece of wood and a nut and bolt. This was much more sturdy and I could confidently drill the holes to the desired depth.

Next I will hollow out the back with a gouge so that the holes disappear.
