Default Where do main pin holes come from?

Where do those big holes in the spars of composite gliders come from?
You know, the ones where they put the bushings that you insert the
main pins through?

Somebody with a big drill drills them.

The video must have cut off before the obligatory "oh sh!@ that's the
