263319 Matt <matt.kowalczyk@g...> 2017‑09‑18 mounting japanese drawer handles
Hello,

Long time lurker, first post.

I'm recently finished building a Japanese sliding-lid box described by
Schwarz in Popular Woodworking.

I ordered some japanese tansu handles and had a question about mounting
them. What is the traditional method of mounting these handles? It comes
with this U-shaped piece of metal that's used to pin the handles against
the "draw front". Do you just splay the ends out on the other end? Or,
should I hook them in on itself and hammer them into the back of the drawer
front?

Not sure if I'm making sense, feel like I'm lacking vocabulary to describe
this.

Thanks,
Matt
