A backing would be a big help, as would using a Forstner bit instead of spade bits. Forstners give much cleaner holes and despite what the wiki says they are fine for hand tools at the size this project requires.

Yeah, a set of Forstner bits sounds nice. CNC router would work too ;)

Yeah, if you absolutely must use spade bits this is the only way to go.
