Checking the allignment of the spokes to the hub attach points. Since the wheel hub was soft balsa, I did not have to actually drill the tiny holes in the hub. I started the mortise holes in the hub with the point of a round head 0.023" dia. pin. I made a little tool to push the pin point into the hub for a starter hole. I cut off the tip of a spare toothpic, drilled a 0.025" hole with a #72 drill bit and pin vise, into the toothpic and cut off a piece of the tip of the round head pin, and CA glued it into the end of the toothpic (tool at bottom of pic).
