I think the handle is 'supposed' to be glued to the belly, not the back. Your pics are also very small and hard to see, I recommend using imgur as described on this thread http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,56806.15.html

Keep on truckin', but remember - Patience, Grasshopper! :BB.!  Best of good work!  You can take wood off, but it is extremely difficult to put it back on!  And watch your tiller very closely!  Btw, I'm a newbie, the other guys know a bunch more than I do!
