In Ohmatic's mono tub tek, how would one drill the massive holes required? It seems that I would need an industrial size drill bit?

Get a 2 inch hole saw from walfart for 3 bucks. The ones for wood are fine. Put it in your drill and have at it.

if you can't make that much heat, trace the circle and heat a knife to cut it

Yup, hole saw, make sure to run it forward slowly till the teeth of the holesaw catch. Then, once they're stuck in the plastic, apply pressure & run it in reverse...check my sig to see how perfect of a circle you'll get w/ that method of doing it (SAB/GB Tek)
2" Forstner... that'd be pricey, I bet...

Look for the forstners instead of the hole saw then.

I saw that one at lowes, came in a little "wooden" case with a plexi glass top right? I almost bought that but since lowes was out of verm I made a trip cross town to ace and voila! Got my verm, came up on the set and got a good lol at the tweaker in line in front of me buying lithium batteries and lye while his homie was in the car pounding a 2 liter bottle of grape faygo. Sometimes it pays to shop around

Get a cheap woodburning pen from michaels or something. They should have a tip that comes with it that is perfect for melting through plastic. This is what I use and it's so quick and easy.
