Nice video, maybe next time you make a hammer handle cut an incision in the end so you can insert a wedge (glue the wedge in), less likely to come loose, really like your channel and am a new subscriber. I used to live in UK, but moved to Australia 30years ago...
They actually all had wedges, either timber or metal, it just wasn’t kept in the edit. There are other “more how-to” style videos on the channel where I left that part in the edit.
Hello Richard, maintenance of tools is something a lot of people forgot. Nowadays it's that easy just go to the store and by a new. I like your idea of when I can do it, why not do it. With a broken handle a hammer has only sentimental worth (it might be the one your grandfather used as a shoemaker) why not bring it back to life. What I figured out about tools: if you need a specific one, its gone, like the 13 mm wrench (people restoring European cars know what I'm talking about) and they tend to walk over to the neighbors' shop. Tools stay, where they feel comfortable. Have a great weekend and why not build your own tool (like the bevel I made yesterday ua-cam.com/video/9F6WyNHRgeo/v-deo.html ) or maintain the old ones.

Great video Richard!
Check out my tool restoration videos please if you like this one.
Nice to see hand tools being used instead of making the handle with a lathe.

Leanbean278 - I see what you did there
looks like you need to build some taller workbenches so you are hunched over so much...
Would of been nice to see the finished product properly.
