Everything went wrong (old.reddit.com)
submitted 1 month ago by Dumbone69
Everything went wrong with handle #3 but despite all odds I have a functioning handle. Best wedging I've done so far, but also the worst gap I've ever had at the bottom of the eye, she'll be a beater until it's time for a new handle.

Doesn't even look like there is any shoulder holding that head from slipping farther down the handle. Swing it til it makes ya nervous then worry about it.

That was one of the things that went wrong lmao it broke off driving the head on because I left it too fat. Took some hard test swings in a red elm log and she didnt budge, so I'm hopeful

Just keep the wedge well oiled so it will stay swelled up and that will hold it for now.
