Measure and Mark
Measure and mark the center of the tray with four pencilled dots to look like the holes in a button.
The Drill Bit
Attach the drill bit that is made for cutting out large holes from doors for locks or cutting holes in drywall.
Clamp and Drill
Carefully clamp the tray to a flat surface and drill out the four holes.
The Four Holes (not a Rock Band)
The tray is starting to resemble a button but it needs some finish work.
Smoothing the Cuts
With medium sandpaper, sand around the edges of the hole and any part that feels rough
Give It Some English
Add a little Old English on the sanded wood to even out the color
