Grin... very good point. There is a way around that problem however.
Enlargen the notch to just a tad more then you need for two knuckles,
and THEN fill the back side of the notch with appropriately thick
material. Glue knuckels then as usual, with perhaps a bit more liberal
amount of glue.

Sorta like hang'n hammers otherwise.
