Got the wiring holes drilled today. Bit nerve wracking, but no real drama. Accidentally chipped the opposite wall of the control cavity when I went through - didn't think to protect it with something, but I guess I'll know for next time (or should have marked my bit with tape so I knew when I was about to go through)...
As mentioned previously, the ply top dented and chipped like crazy when I first cut it to shape, so there are a few little dings and chipped edges to fill, but I think with some grain filler and a good sand, in combo with the binding it should pretty well fix them all up.
Was going to drill the hole for the endpin screw too, but then when faced with all those layers of ply I wasn't sure where it's best to put it structurally. Do you guys reckon I should go dead centre (i.e. there's 15 layers, so just into the centre layer of ply), or between layers? Or it makes no difference?
EDIT: that centre line looks wonky in the pic, but guarantee it's actually square in real life.
