63666 "Steve Black" <blacks@r...> Jun-08-1999 What's the best tool for kerf-mounted weatherstripping?

I want to fix up some of the 100+ year old windows in my home.  I plan to
find some weatherstripping that goes into a kerf one makes along the edge of
the window, where it can't be seen.  I could make the kerf with a slot
cutter on my r**t*r t*bl*, but I'd rather do it with a hand tool.  One
option would be to use my 7/8" groove plane, but I think the kerf would be
too wide, and too close to the edge of the window frame.

What would be the best tool for me to acquire to use for this job?  Anything
that would be less $$$ than a plow plane?

Also, if you know of a good source of supplies for old window restoration,
please let me know.

Thanks,

Steve Black
