What happens here

On the plywood panel covering the upper bunk, mark the desired shape of the opening, which will have curved edges. To ensure a clean cut and prevent splintering (tear-out), apply painter's tape along the marked cut lines. Use a jigsaw to carefully cut out the curved opening. The tape helps compress the wood fibers, resulting in a smoother edge.

Goal: Carefully mark and cut a custom curved opening on the upper bunk's plywood panel, using painter's tape to prevent tear-out for a clean finish.

other side and it will look really nice all right so for this window here i i'm not gonna make it straight but i'm gonna make a little bit of a i don't know like an egg that's not an egg is it it's gonna have curved edges anywho i gave her enough space that the kid won't fall out i think i gave it a roughly round for the mattress ends here so probably like 10 inches to get a good clean cut a couple of things have to be taken into consideration masking tape is the solution i'm going to put it on top i'm going to cut over it and then to prevent the tearing on the other side i have to do the same thing so i'll do a little bit measuring put tape on both sides put my little pilot hole with the drill and start with the jigsaw if everything goes if i follow the rules correctly it should be perfect how clean and crisp are these cuts man
