What happens here

Secure the sanded bowtie piece to your workbench using clamps. Use a compact trim router fitted with a round-over bit to carefully create the designated slot for the phone. Make multiple shallow passes to achieve a clean cut and prevent tear-out. Also, use a drill with a small drill bit to create a pilot hole at one end of the bowtie, where the keychain eyelet will be inserted.

Goal: Rout the phone slot and drill a small hole for the keychain ring using appropriate tools.
