Hi Elliott,
I made a template of the location I wanted the hole and used it to mark each side. I then drilled a small hole from each side and progressed to larger bits. this helped keep the hole straight. I finished the hole with a 5/8" tapered reamer. I then epoxied a piece of 1/2" ID (5/8" O.D.) plastic pipe in the hole, trimed flush and sanded smooth.
