Drilling Dots

I have put aside the body for a while to begin work on the neck. First thing is to drill the dots on the top of the fretboard:

I used a 1/4" Forstner bit, worked out great with this small drill press.

Nothing is glued in yet, probably just use CA glue.

The exact order varies from person to person, but I think this is how I will do it:
1) Drill/glue top dots.
2) Cut/profile ends
3) Install truss rod into neck.
4) Glue fretboard on neck.
5) Cut excess off sides.
6) Sand/shape sides of fretboard to neck. Check dimensions: 1.75" at nut, 2.25" at 14th fret.
7) Install side dots.
8) Install frets.
9) Attach to body.
