A note on shop safety: The procedures described in this essay are inherently dangerous, even for skilled craftsman. Do not attempt to use any type of power tool without reading and understanding the rules for safe operation. Always wear safety glasses. And don't attempt any operations beyond your skill level -- ask a qualified friend for help instead. You may save your camera, or something more dear to you -- like a finger! Finally, this photo essay is an illustration of how I accomplished this procedure, but is not offered as instruction or intended for use as a tutorial. I am not responsible for any bodily or financial damage you may inflict on yourself or others should you decide to mimic this procedure.
