I drilled a 1 inch hole through the block of wood along the grain first. I have to be careful not drill to deep because you would have a hole in the roof. Then I drill the holes that let you see the lights. Normally I paint them red or green. But this individual wanted a walnut stain.

Jack, I liked your video on the bags to store my paints and finished. I just ordered from a company in Arizona and their product comes in bags! Two questions: 1. How do you get gel stain into a bag? 2. How do you store these bags so they do not get punctured? Again, great video and information!
