(This hammer was in a big trash bin at my neighbor's. Her kids were cleaning out the garage, and they tossed the hammer because of the broken handle. I, of course, retrieved it when she asked me to help level out the bin to close the lid) #dumpsterdiving

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

Hammer with wood cut off. But the metal is dinged. You can see fire turnout pants and structure boots on a shelf in the background.

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

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
