I went to Home Depot today for some stain and carpet padding. Outcome? A can of Golden Oak, and no carpet padding, because 'they couldn't cut section of a roll for me and there weren't any scraps'. Yea, bullcrap. Anyhow, will try the carpet store beside my mom's workplace...
I have a pair of used 1x12" guitar cabinets that were covered with grey carpet, for durability purposes, I guess. For a second there, I imagined you covering the outside of your beautiful work with cheap flooring material... and it wasn't pretty.

-OHHHH I'M PISSED. The forstner bit I'm using (1 3/8") is a millimeter TOO SMALL FOR MY RETARDED TWEETERS. Whoever made the tweeter must like to torture people. The hole is fine for my port, but it looks like I'll have to sand/file off the excess by hand or a drum sander...(*!@&(^!$#(^!#(^$(
I would drum/spindle sand it. Personally a file will probably end up like crap, and distorted and stuff, just do a few revolutions, go back check it, do a few more until it fits. That really sucks, I imagine a few revolutions on a spindle sander should make it big enough.
What poor deeds did you do today, it seems like you have bad karma if it is that close.

I am so spectacularly inept at any kind of woodworking that I couldn't be depended on to split my thumb with a hammer properly but I do so love my Lee-Valley.
They sell so much neat stuff and all of it makes me feel so, capable, skilled, in control and, well, manly.
I had to give up the habit when my wife kept laughing at me when I'd come home with some fancy Japanese hand saw or a new pocket bubble level fabricated by autistic gnomes in Austria; both of which would join an unused toolbox worth of similar follies and impulse purchases in the basement.
hehe, will drum sand it first, then hand sand it to get a better finish, as we only have coarse paper. Bought some pre-stain today and will test it.

Yea just in my opinion files never seem to end up good when you make holes bigger :P

OK, so I tried the tung oil today, and I must say that it's a better finish overall..I would go and get the other finishes if it guarantees a good result, but the polymerized tung oil is provided by my class (covered by our course fee), so therefore free. Will return the stains today, here are some pics:
