    The way the guy started to put it in his hammer holder before realizing he isn't wearing it is something that is indicative of an experienced carpenter. I have done that a million times!

    As a kid, I remember seeing the forman welder in our shop fit a new hammer handle. It blew my mind when he hit the end of the handle instead of the head. My understanding of reality came crashing down that day.

    Dip the portion of the wood that goes in the head in linseed oil before driving the wood wedge. Linseed oil will swell the wood like water does but it will harden instead of evaporating.

      In the northwest with axe handles and sledgehammers we use a dremel to remove a 1/4" of wood from the top of thehandle once seated, with wood wedges, and fill that with catalyzed fiberglass resin or liquid latex to seal the end. Handle does not swell and dry in wet conditions, removing the tendency for them to loosen over time.

    • @jackcollins2344

      Stain first then linseed oil that's the way to go. Just my thinking.

      @Katya5cat 7 месяцев назад +1

      I've never heard that before. I'll try that. Did anyone mention to always look for the wood grain going with the hammer head on a hammer handle? Not across as it will break much quicker if it is. My great uncle taught me that when I was real little.

    @gregwalker4236 4 года назад +4

    thanks, subscribed....i hope i don't have to replace mine anytime soon, but i'm guessing i will. the grain on my 12 oz, 18 inch stiletto is very widely spaced and the handle feels very light. i would be afraid to hammer very robustly on new handle to set in head if it has the same characteristics. wish it had a rubber cap on the end like the old craftsmen wood hammers. i will probably try a rubber mallet or wood carving mallet to set the new handle..

      Those are profile-expansion wedges. When you put the wooden wedge in to the top of the handle, that wedge DISTALLY expands the top of the handle to fill out the socket of the hammer head in its cross section. The steel wedges afterwards expand the PROFILE of the top of the handle so that it can fill in the rest of the gaps left in the socket.

    To get the rest of the handle out, I’ve always just thrown the head (whether axe or hammer or hatchet etc etc) in the fire. It will burn out in no time. And when he was hammering the bottom of the handle to get the head on, another way to do it is simply bang the bottom of the hammer on the ground (with a piece of wood so no damage). Gets it on there real tight.
