I'm trying to rehang my favorite axe, every time I do it, I think I've got it perfect, on there tight as you could possibly want it. I take it out to start cutting and it has no play and works fine for a few hours, then all the sudden the wedge breaks into about twenty pieces and comes flying out. The handle's fine but the wedge is just obliterated and the axe is now useless and I have to stop what I'm doing to go fix it. I'm this close (imagine me making a tiny space between my thumb and index finger) to doing it the way my grandfather used to and just banging a bunch of nails into it, I did that to one of my other ones like 12 years ago and it hasn't moved even a little since then, it's fugly, but at least I don't have to stop what I'm doing to fix it all the time.
