Change of plan.
After I cut the squonk window to line up with the Pico Squeeze bottle system, I just didn't like how weak the wood section below the window looked. If the mod dropped and hit right there, seemed to me the wood would crack or worse. So I decided to bag the Squeeze hardware and support that lower section by lining the squonk bore with a brass tube epoxied in place. The wood might dent if dropped, but it shouldn't crack.
Unfortunately, now I'm stuck with the position and shape of the squonk window, and missed my chance to do something more interesting. My no-visible-metal thing is out the window too. Derp.
