Long Live the Push Broom

Years ago, when sweeping up the shop it seemed I was always catching my push broom on machine and cabinet bases until the handle eventually broke off in the head. After buying my third replacement handle, I decided to reinforce it with a simple plywood gusset as shown. Twenty years later, I’m still using the same broom and handle, proving the trick a winner.
