I'd love to say we spent hours at the drill press, but the truth is, one of our team parents workplace has a CNC machine that drilled all that out. Kids designed it in CAD, sent the files and material to "the shop", and they came back a few days later.

The holes are on 1/2" spacing, and having that adjustability and flexibility for moving stuff around really came in handy during build, without much impact on strength.
