And now, ready for linseed oil (after lunch). #hammer #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #tools

Now to take care of the most annoying part of this... the labels. Getting them off is a pain, I end up sanding them off because I treat all my handles with linseed oil. #hammer #repair #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle

Next two metal wedges the other way to really set the handle in place. Won't ever come out, without a drill. Probably will outlive me. #hammer #repair

Next, cut the wood flush with the hammer. I didn't do a great job, didn't notice the hand saw was too close to the top. Won't affect the functionality of the hammer. #hammer #repair

Next is the wood wedge. Put it in there, whack it with a different hammer until nice and tight. #hammer #repair

Took me 10 minutes. Used a rubber mallet to separate the head from the old handle. You can almost read "Craftsman" on the hammer. No idea how old it is... probably 1970's. Not that old! #repair #hammer

Broken hammer handle repair time! #hammer #hammertime #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair
