Any tips on best way to cut out the bottom?
It'd look like a beaver knawed it out, but I'll probably try a angle grinder.
Angle grinder, I would cut as a hexagon for simplistic reasons then grind (flap wheel) it round after that. Or drill a hole and gig saw it (cut is a bit short), then finish up with the angle grinder/flap wheel.
