It's not difficult to do and you don't need a guide, all you need is a glass hole saw and a drill with a clutch. I used some thicker cardboard with holes the size I needed cut out and taped around the edges. I then poured water into the holes and kept adding water as I cut. The cardboard is only there to keep the hole saw in place until it starts to cut, after that it will sit in the groove. Adjust the clutch to a lower setting so that if the drill binds the torque won't break the glass. Just go slow, keep the drill level, and keep adding water to cool and your good to go.

Why don't you guys set something up for the meeting

Easy to drill. Just go slow and let the drill do the work. I used play dough to build little barriers to keep the water around the bit. Diamond tip hole saws are cheap online. Dont drill the bottom of a 40b its usually tempered.

I can bring my bit and guide to meeting for everyone to use themselves at their own risk.
