My first try porting. Yes, you probably can do it better

I think Im on a decent path

Setting the template as instructed by Racing Beat

Painting the housing

Placing the template...

Template scribed into the housing

Finding a comfy way to work

DUCT TAPE: dont do it without it. Seriously

Back of stock euro port

nice 12A

This is as far as I went today... took me several hours. I know more experienced people can do this in like 10 minutes.

More random pics

I will snap some. I was unable to find different carbide bits in my country, so I used ONE to do everything.

That template looks like someone tried to use it as a porting guide instead of a marking guide. Anyway work at it, your doing ok from what I can tell. Make sure you chamfer the exhaust ports so you dont munch the apex seals.
