Ive been using a piece of high quality textured cover stock on my Intuos5, cut to the size of the tablet area, and my fucking god it is so nice.
Its always the perfect temperature on my hand, even on a hot day (where the smooth surface would normally get damp / overly 'grippy' on my hand) and the texture on the pen tip is absolutely heaven.
If you haven't done this, i say try it. Im sure the texture of the paper is a big factor, so dont go taping some laser printer paper down, but i just wanted to say i highly recommend it.

also, i just use a normal craft glue stick on the bottom side. i just swapped out the paper today as my original sheet was getting worn out after the past 5-6 months of use, and the glue came off no problem with a damp cloth, it was like new again, ready to be laid up with a fresh sheet. :)

how does the mouse feel on it? mine collects a lot of grime on the plastic pad

mouse feels good - it slides nicely & makes a satisfying "Ffffff" sound moving across it.

Also, believe it or not, touching the pad still works just as well. That being said, there are some bugs with the driver in OSX so i leave the touch pad off anyway.

Get a real pencil or brush, pseudo artists.

I would bore a hole through it in my first pass.

Hey! I just bought a Wacom Bamboo pen and I'm also using paper over the tablet area.
I need too get a thiner (lighter) paper, but I like the way it feels.
I didn't have it professionally build like you but it's working fine.This is a great idea!
