Just finished the access hole for my Badger Creek. I made the access using 3ply and drilled and inserted 1/2" brass tube in the four corners. For the top, again 3ply with Mod-rock (Plaster babdage) topped with a light covering of plaster. Under the board are four 3/8" bolts which locate into the brass tube.
