Thanks guys,
LL, that's a good suggestion, especially with two active kids and a dog running through the house. I'll have to fasten it to the cabinet it sits on.
adauria, those holes are more keyhole shaped, like for an extra large skeleton key. I layed out everything first, then predrilled the centers and used hole saws for each end (7/8" small end, 1-1/8" large end (I think)) , then connected the tangent of the small hole perpendicular to the edge of the board till it intersected with the larger hole marked it and cut each one with a with a scroll saw. Then used barrel sanders to smooth it all out, then alot of hand sanding... (and their not really all that consistent)
