Now it gets tricky. sand the edges down to the very edge of the pencil mark but no further. I am using a dremel to do this, and here is the completed hole. lets see if it fits.
it fits, not perfect yet , but pretty darned good. | 
I may practice on a couple more before I attack a uke, but this is looking pretty good. I am pleased. |
