>>950003heres the fanciest wedging iv done so far... On a stanley geologist hammer. The eye is in the shape of a trapezoid so i had to really split the kerf a lot. So much so, that i accidentally split the handle putting the middle one in. I jammed a bunch of wood glue into the crack and clamped it overnight and it seems to have held... though honestly i wouldnt trust the tool for hard use.(not that i had any use for a geologists hammer anyway...)
$3 from a 2nd hand store, maybe an hour of labor cleaning the handle up and scrapping down the head, and $1 worth of linseed oil and some scraps of hickory wedges i had laying around. Dont want to use a steel wedge on it since i only have a few spare ones atm, and again, i doubt this'll ever see any use(more just to practice fixing up an old tool)
