mattocks, eye hole hoes, & axes

[Larry Maddox]

I realize this is not the perfect forum for this but I do need info. Need a source that can instruct me how to properly install wooden handles.

 

[SDMatteson]

Remove enough wood so the handle will slide
into the hole.Don't remove to much , just a
little at a time untill a snug fit is acheaved . Drive the wedge that came with the
handle into the slit on top untill it will go no more and there you have it.If this does
not work , weld a pipe to said tool and be
done with the whole mess .

Larry:
After installing the handle soak it in PEG (Polyethyleneglycol, what are the odds of this being spelled right) it swells the wood and won't evaporate like a water soak.
