Made a few bodies out of Mahogony last night. I put my drill chuck in the headstock and use the tailstock to center the body and drill from both ends. On the ones that are too long I join the holes with a long drill bit I made by filing the end of a coat hanger on an angle. The starter hole I drilled with a twist drill guides it straight. Now to finish the woodworking part and learn how to weight them properly at the plug building meet.
