Option #1 – Drilling the finger holes first
1) Draw centre line and midline of grip
2) Dividing the span of the middle finger in half, draw the span line for the middle finger and ring fingers
3) Draw bridge lines
4) Select the correct drill bit for the middle finger and set the correct pitches
5) Align the drill bit so that the cutting edges are lined up to just touch the bridge line and span line
6) Drill middle finger hole
7) Repeat steps 4 – 6 for the ring finger
8) If the specs (measurements) call for finger inserts, bevel the edges of the holes slightly and install them now
9) Using a ruler that is accurate to at least 1/16”, place it at the bottom centre of the middle finger hole
10) Refer to spec sheet for the middle finger span
11) Measure from the middle finger along the centre line and mark the exact span distance by drawing an arc
12) Repeat steps 10 & 11 for the ring finger
13) Select the correct drill bit for the thumb and set the correct pitches
14) Align the drill bit so that the centre of the drill bit is on the centre line and so the cutting edge of the bit will just touch the spot where the 2 arcs intersect
15) Drill the hole
