Size of Drill Bit for holes on a homebuilt Hesslerk Altoid Amp
I just built a Hesslerk Altoid, however, his shop is closed so I cannot ask him these questions. I was wondering what size drill bit that I would need to drill the holes for the volume/power knob, 1/4th and 3.5mm jack? They are marked on the photo with the red arrows.

I can't see your pics. I would measure the items and select a drill bit accordingly.
As a guide, "imported" pots usually have 7mm, 8mm or 10mm threads, "US" pots usually 3/8" threads. "Imported" 1/4" jacks usually have 10mm thread and "US" jacks usually have 3/8" threads.
I don't know about the 3.5mm jack.
That sounds like a cool project. Can you tell us more about it?

This speaks of the problems associated with poking a round hole in the Altoids tin.
