re: Reclaimed Pitchfork

Looks like a fine repair job, Jim! I have a shovel that I’m on my fifth handle for, but it’s the one I’ve used to dig a dozen truckloads of chamisa out of our yard with, and once in a while I hit a root that doesn’t want to budge, and the (very dried out) handle snaps. I get about 3 snaps from a handle, just shortening the end up with a drawknife and popping it back into the shovel head, then drilling in the cross-pin that seems to be standard on the shovel handles I buy. Ain’t as pretty as your job, but it gets me back to work.
