While I had an idea on how to perform this task, you provided the motivation to combine two shovels - one with a broken handle and the other with a damaged/cracked blade that had been sitting in my garage for probably 20 years, may be more ... Thanks ! ;-)
Thank you👍, also for the TIP of the ALL-GRAINS GO FACING UP, so it does not brake again. NOTE: the reason not to use screws is because vibrations unscrew all screws (physics 101)
What if you have an older tool that only has a rivet hole on one side, versus going all the way through like the one in your video. I have an old cultivator with a rivet hole on the top and one on only one side. Do you use some form of blind riveting technique?
That’s when I use a 1 inch by number 10 Panhead sheet metal screw. I put them, with small pilot holes so it doesn’t split the wood, to secure the shovel. That should be all you need.
@@MrHardware1Appreciate the reply...thanks. Just curious - I have an old hoe that has the same configuration and it has rivets versus screws. Any idea how they did that type of riveting back in the day?
@@jrod1077 in the old days you took a mild steel rod, clamped it in a vise, pounded on the end until it mushroomed and created a head. The cut it 3/16 longer than the Length required, placed the mushroom head against the vise or an anvil and then pounded a mushroom head on the end of the rod. 5 minutes to create and install a rivet.
@@axminsters sometimes the wood has adhered to the steel in such a way that it does not break free. Drilling the holes, loosens the grip of the wood on the steel and then makes it easier to get the rest of the wood out.

this man is typical 'old school'' the way he communicates
I don't blame you for repairing that well made shovel. I'd do the same thing.
Thank you very much Mr. Hardware.
One of the most informational video on this topic. Great Job!
Thanks so much for this great tutorial!

Stainless Bolt and Nut with blue lock tite A little more pricey but easier to change the handle when needed.
Great video - detailed but concise - thanks!
Excellent! Wow, I learned a few good tricks, Thanks! Dave WRØX

That’s a Jackson pony shovel I believe, that’s a great store too.

Can you put a washer on the rivet before you peen it over?
I’ve had to do that when the shovel had an oversized hole.
why not just put screw and bit of wood pull it out..instead of drilling

@@MrHardware1 well heat up the metal with blowtorch
@@axminsters I’ll try that on the next one
You need a better camera person.
