[NLRS] yagi newbie questions

[Aaron David Lewis]

Greetings.  I'm looking to get on the air from my QTH on 440, 900, and 1200.  I've been pointed to https://www.wa5vjb.com/yagi-pdf/cheapyagi.pdf to make my own.  I'm a total newbie and I understand about 90% of this but I wish it were more explicit.  It says to glue the elements to the boom.  This sounds flimsy.  There's no mention of drilling holes into the boom which would seem better, but I don't know.  At the bottom I'm not really understanding the zip ties. I do have scrap RG-58.  should I keep this pigtail short and crimp/solder it to an n socket? Does anyone have photos? I admit I could do more googling.  Does anyone have surplus antennas they might want to sell?  Thank you.
