I couldn't commit to the price of a tool to do the coring because I just don't do it that much. Since I also do metal work, I had what I needed at my workbench to make this based on his instructions and it works like a charm!

works well for me!
Anyone have a link, or know Andrew's last name so I can do a Google search?
