UPDATE: Thanks for the recommendation WhenDogsSing. I've bought and received the Grover geared tuners, and I'm eager to put them on my uke. I'm just wondering what the purpose of the bushings are? Do they serve an important purpose, or could I just drill holes the size of the peg itself and forget about the bushing? All I'm working with is a power hand drill and I would like to get this project done by tommorow-ish, so if I only had to drill one sized hole, that'd be great. Let me know if that's possible, thanks.
I'm trying to build a ukulele based off of this guy's design:

I'm at the point where I'm starting to look for tuners. I don't want to spend much more than $10 or $15 on them, but I also don't want them to be of such bad quality that they can't hold the ukulele's tune for more than a minute or two. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to what brand of tuners I could buy and where I could buy them. And what do you think about these tuners that are only $1:

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
