    Easy and useful kit

    Not much easier than this. I modified things a bit. The kit includes a threaded insert, and I chose a drill that was a bit larger than the barrel (but smaller than the 1/2" called for in the directions) and drilled a hole that was a bit smaller than the threads, into the hickory piece I chose for the handle. With difficulty, I screwed the insert in, and need no epoxy. A few things to think about: I feel it would have been better to use a ferrule, as I'm a bit concerned about splitting the handle where I drove in the threaded insert. Also, don't make the handle too thick. I did, and it was a bit uncomfortable. So I sanded flats on 4 sides after making a jig for my belt sander, to reduce the circumference. And it has a side benefit of keeping the tool from rolling.
