good work Sam looks good. All the difficult parts of the build are done so you are on the home stretch now !
Are you leaving the ferrules in while putting clear coats on ?
They should fit pretty tight in the hole

I'll take them out for the clear coats. Right now they're snug. They're 10.5mm and I used a 10.5mm bit. The strings will hold them in. If there's any chance they'll fall out after the clear coat is on then I can put a dab of something in there to hold them that won't be too hard to crack if they ever had to come back out.
