Loose handles are like clamps, you can never have too many.
Yesterday was a snow day, and I finally got around to putting the handles on. I messed up and drilled the holes for some of the tangs a tad too small, so the handles split when I drove them on. They are snug and work perfectly, but have ugly cracks in them. Have to make 3 more handles.
It's a bit of guesswork to know how undersized to make the tang holes so they grab the tangs snugly, but not so small that the wood splits under the strain.
