I like to keep wooden handles on most of my files but there is often a little play in the handle due to the file tang being tapered and the hole in the handle not being tapered. I solved this by filling the hole in the handle about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way to the top with saw dust from my table saw before putting the file tang in. Don't tamp the saw dust in, just tap the handle against something hard as you fill it. Nice snug fit and you can still tap the handles off when the file wears out.
