Relocating knuckles

[Richard Brekne]

Oh there are lots of ways of accomplishing this quickly. I like my 
upside down saber saw jig that David Stanwood was kind enough to 
contrive for me when he was here in Bergen.   But a band saw works well 
too... either way you need to take a little guide to cut exactly the 
same depth and spot. I generally like to cut before filling up the old 
slot.
