New Front Door: Grille Options Are Driving Me Nuts |

Well the one hing I hate about our back door is the divided light. It has the grill on the outside. Never again as its a royal pita to clean the grills catch and hold dirt and if you do decide to paint that's a pain too.
Our front door we went with a feather river fiberglass door with one of their stained glass inserts. Very nice door well made and painted easily. Just remember with fiberglass doors you need to use an oil based paint. Ours has been in for 4 years now and still looks like new over than a little chip where someone had the deadbolt out a little when the closed the door. I notice it after painting but no one else does...

Need help with dovetails |

That precise project is why I bought the Leigh 24" jig. As I see it, you have two options: First, learn to cut dovetails by hand. Second, buy a 24" jig.
Put a WTB post down in S&S - they've been coming up for sale recently.

Handle for McNaughton Center Saver |

I know I bought a handle some years back....... I just don't recall from who
Because the head of the handle, to make the blades swapable, would have to be metal, if I was doing my own I would be tempted to make a separate handle for each blade.
I know the handles today (MK-8) are smaller then the handles of "yore". Actually I don't use the handle for the regular set at all, but instead I use the handle off the smaller set. Which appears to be the size of the handle now shipping with the Mk8
I know some of the "pros" use no handle at all, they just hold the blade perfectly right and have no issues.
