Just what i would do...

1. cut the hole i like
2. transfer the pattern of the hole onto a cardboard (tricky part)
3. make a "tube" of the shape of the hole and weld it at the back of the front apron...

I know its a lot tricky to match the curve of the apron, but i believe its worth it. also first mark the hole, then cut about an inch or less (hole smaller than the sketch) so you will be able to make some relief cuts and bend the extra metal inwards to support the "tube"

or use the apron noted by kafer mike and make a "tube"
