Hi Steve, I was a little nervous about cutting the hatches. I went to Home Depot and bought a pair of Swiss jig saw blades. (I thought if it is swiss it must be good) And they were. I just have an old Sears jig saw. It was easy as pie and the holes came out great. I guess the secret is a good sharp blade. Good luck, Gisela.
