7. Use a drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to

8. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread

a servo mounting screw into each of the holes.

Remove the screw then apply 2–3 drops of thin

CA in each hole and saturate the front and rear of

the block to harden the hardwood block. This will

help keep the blocks from splitting when the servo

mounting screws are installed.
