I set the depth on the saw to score the bottom of the 'S' then broke almost every bit in my harbor freight dremel tool kit to clean it up. I then used a drill with countersink to cut the screw holes. To finish, I used a variable speed grinder with pad and 220 grit hook n loop sand paper and then clear coated it. I enjoyed working with a new medium and may do something else creative if inspired.
