We didn't have the Kreg jig kit she mentions but it turned out perfectly. I think we practised making a smaller hole first and bought a finer fret saw blade when we realised the jigsaw needed more manoeuvering ability and when it was finished we placed it on the hanging board underneath with some rubber sheeting to cushion it a bit Anyway, just an idea.

Thanks, Pamela, this is a great tutorial. My wooden table that I was thinking of using is very similar to the kind she said to use. I guess this will be my next DIY project. But, in the meantime I'll have the plastic extender table that I found to use. Things are just falling into place.
By the way, I have been pricing all of the things I need for the machine and WOW what a wide range of prices for the same thing. The foot pedal sells any where from $69 to $110. The feet prices are a little closer, however. Even the power cord sells for $10 at one store and $20 at another. I've made a chart in Excel of who sells what and for how much so that I can purchase at the best possible prices. It looks like I will have to buy what I need a little at a time.
