Yeah, a jig like that would be the way to do it and still come out the other end of the project with a smile on your face! Occasionally one might have to make a custom wider or thinner scale to finish a row, and the Whitney punch would still be good for that. If you do decide to drill the holes, you'll want to make sure to smooth the edges of the holes, or they'll eventually fray and cut your cords.
