went up this morning to the clients house to make sure that the slight projection on the drawerpull will still work and we don't have to put the drawers in a less desireable location. everything seemed to fit. phew.
came back home and worked on the last two handles then in question. after that i experimented with routing a 1/2" X 2" (X 1/8" deep) groove in the handles to provide a slightly better grip for pulling open the door or drawer. i built a really sketchy little jig to do this. obviously i need a router table. but its just running these little thin handles over the blad and it seems to work pretty well. everything has to be done very slowly, very intentionally, and very carefully.
the grooves are now all cut except for the two handles which were stained before. i should have cut first all the handles, then did the staining. did that backwards. now i'm just waiting for the stain to dry and then will cut the last two grooves on the handles, poly them all. and then attach the handles to the doors. each part of the process is relatively small, but all this drying time makes it slow going.
