Each handle is attached now with a set screw (drilled and tapped in a couple of minutes) ...
I believe it was Marius Hornberger that simply glued a magnet into the back of the handle such that it contacts the end of the spindle when installed. That way it never comes loose due to vibration. I haven't tried that yet, so I'm still pushing the thing back up each time I adjust blade height. And I don't find myself making bevel cuts often enough to require the second handle.
And there was trouble, taking place...
