I was nervous about installing our knobs/pulls by myself, but my determination won...

I thought I'd share my success with the tools I used: A web search led me to the True Position drill guide and also the Festool Centrotec 5mm drill bit. I am so impressed with both tools! The drill guide works like a jig would (worth the money as I didn't trust making one myself) and I had read that this particular drill bit eliminates the risk of splintering the wood on the exit point which was true for me.

It was surprisingly easy and actually fun... I wish I had more knobs/pulls to do!! lol
