Great video. I have two that I took to a buddy to weld. Said he couldn't get it to take. So I searched and found this. Looks like it will work way better. And yes, I didn't very much notice the "self centering" job. Hope I can do as well....lol.
Nice Duke. Good for another 10 years. I'm the same way. I don't just throw things away. I try to fix them or reuse them first. People are too quick to throw things away these days.
Just started working on 2 rakes and a hoe this morning. Had to quit cause of the heat. Cooling my heals when I found your video. Thanks Duke. Have a Blessed day.
Perfect. I didn’t want to throw mine away, now I know how to fix it, Thanks ! Things are too expensive nowadays to throw away, besides, anything new will only last a few months or a year, that’s how things are made today and that’s a waste of money. The hoe I have is over 10 YEARS old with lots of use. Fix fix fix, don’t repurchase anything.
Howdy Mr. Duke- good to see ya brother. Good fix on the handle. I’ve had to do that but I learned a new way of doing it. Thanks for sharing that. Take care and God bless y’all
@@RuffCut hand is doing well, I feel I could happily go back to fulltime, but them that make the rulings won't let loose with fulltime till the end of the month. Still soaking it regularly and working on stretching the skin on the back of the finger, it's still very tight when it is closed, but progressing well. Do enjoy the warm weather, we got our first frost of the winter season here this morning. ⚒😎👍
Left off the most important part --- the outer metal sleeve. In fact, I would have merely drilled through the sleeve and through the hoe end shaft. I not only would have; I have done it. That outer sleeve, even the plastic ones, provides much of the strength in that area.
Great repair, Mr. Duke. I guess this shows a great disadvantage to the tools with fiberglass handles, cuz they'd have to be repaired with epoxy and strapping and still not last as long.
@@RuffCut The fiberglass handle will last a very long time, but the connection at the end will fail and be difficult to repair. I tend to prefer wood handles.
Looking good! Where have you been Duke? I was beginning to worry, you haven't posted for a month. I was thinking maybe you went on a round the world vacation, not that you don't deserve a vacation. Then I was afraid those dang buzzards might have finally got you. God bless you Duke. :o)
G,day mate ,nice repair, we don’t have that type of hoe here , our handles are fitted into a cone type sleeve that’s welded to the hoe head ,guess you have that type also hey . Hope life is good Duke up there on the top of the world ,it’s been a bit wet and cold down below here mate take care God bless Yu Brother cheers Wayne 🇦🇺👍
Instead of cutting off the tapered end, just cut off about 1/4" to 1/2" of the tip. Then cut a kerf across the end. Drill the hole 1/4" to 1/2" deeper into the handle. Reinstall the ferrule and the hoe head. Use a flat tipped bar or chisel to drive the ferrule securely onto the handle. If it was still loose, the wrap aluminum tape around the hoe tang to fill the difference. I treat my rusty tools with a wire brush and a wipe or two of phosphoric acid. This usually turns the metal black. Vinegar could also be used, but it takes longer and the part must be submerged in the vinegar.
Do you know what this type of connection is called? I don't have an existing handle so I guess I will just try to make one from scratch. How come you chose to ditch the sleeve?
Ya always need a good strong hoe on the homestead 😜 Kidding aside glad to see ya putting a video out. Great to fix an older tool than just buy a new one. Hope all is doing well for ya Mr Duke. Ya need to do an update on ya garden this year. God bless from Missouri
@@RuffCut I just repaired it. The tail inside the handle was flat not round. I cut a dowel in half and wedged the tail into the drilled hole. Feels solid. Thank you.
Did you notice the self centering drill bit??
If you didn't drill a pilot hole that was might good aim..:-)
Haha, yeah, I have a couple of those!

yes Sir...I have a problem with throwing things away...we actually save money when we fix things....Thanks

Thanks for the blessing Mr
Putting 'em back into service! Solid fix!
just need to clean er up!
I like that , awesome job I'll try that next time one of mine breaks or gets loose. Keep those videos coming sir!!!
Thanks ol buddy...good to know you're still watching...I didn't need to cut so much off but it's working good
Exactly what I need to fix my fork. Thanks. And that's a mighty fine vice.

Howdy Mr. Duke- good to see ya brother. Good fix on the handle. I’ve had to do that but I learned a new way of doing it. Thanks for sharing that. Take care and God bless y’all
What is the new way Bro. Paul?
@@RuffCut Your way... I haven’t seen it done that way, it was new to me. Blessings to y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter ok I thought you had another way.....besides the right way lol
@@RuffCut I ain’t smart nuff to figure out a whole lot hehe
My hoe had a square shaft rather than a round one, so I skipped the drilling step. But your video definitely helped me. Thanks man!
appreciate it!
what did you do instead of drilling your handle?
Theres alot of people that dont like the way i do things because its "ugly" but it it works it works
sure and truly...I used it today
Good fix Duke. That's an old handle. If you put boiled linseed oil on it I bet it would take several coatings as dry as it is.
it would help!
Nicely done Duke ✔ may it give you seasons of good use 👍
Thanks Richard...hope you are working full time and the hand is working good

go on wit your bad self!
@@RuffCut LOL.....
Had to ring the bell again, good stuff brother. Shoot it's probably going to be stronger now ole buddy. 👊💀🇺🇲
its working pretty good...like to find someone else to use it :)
@@RuffCut Lmao! 👊🤣
Nothing like good ole hand tools to fix the good ole hand tools.
:)
Good as snuff!!
sho enuff!
Great repair, Mr. Duke.

I never have replaced a fiberglass handle don't know what it would be like Thanks
@@RuffCut The fiberglass handle will last a very long time, but the connection at the end will fail and be difficult to repair. I tend to prefer wood handles.
Looks stronger than when it was new, nice job Duke! Now don't you wear that tool out!
wore me out yesterday David :)

i keep the buzzards run off as long as I can stay on my feet! Thanks Steve...everything is good
Good ole hose clamps.👍
somebody said I needed duck tape too lol
Fine repair job.....should get a few more seasons out of that one.
I'm thinking it will last longer than I do Duane!
@@RuffCut Only the Lord above knows the answer to that Duke
@@DuaneT64 you got that right Brother
Rough Cut Homestead shoot you'll wear out 10 more of those before you slow down !!!!!
@@pineoutdoors2731 you gonna get to see a lot more videos then :)

its been wet here too ...the weeds are getting out of control but we hit a dry spell now...Blessings Bro. Wayne
Good job on the old hoe, I think ya need a different saw though seems like the one you used was a little dull!
Thats why we're "Rough Cut Homestead!"
Instead of cutting off the tapered end, just cut off about 1/4" to 1/2" of the tip. Then cut a kerf across the end. Drill the hole 1/4" to 1/2" deeper into the handle. Reinstall the ferrule and the hoe head. Use a flat tipped bar or chisel to drive the ferrule securely onto the handle.

Thank you for the valuable info. This handle was wallered out severely but your idea would work well with one that had just come loose. Thanks again
awesome , thanks.
I've got a shovel and hoe that I need to fix. That's for encouragement
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you know what this type of connection is called? I don't have an existing handle so I guess I will just try to make one from scratch. How come you chose to ditch the sleeve?
the sleeve was of no use the way i put it back together
2:42 I think the last time someone was using an old saw like that was Tommy Jefferson.
I went to buy a new shovel handle at a box store but the handle cost more than a new shovel 🙄
same thing happened with my garden hose...the parts were more expensive than a new hose....something bad wrong with that...more junk for the landfills
Well I have a bandmill and a shaving horse so I need to find some hickory or ash and make my own handles
Ya always need a good strong hoe on the homestead 😜 Kidding aside glad to see ya putting a video out. Great to fix an older tool than just buy a new one.
Hope all is doing well for ya Mr Duke. Ya need to do an update on ya garden this year.
God bless from Missouri
I'll do a garden update....Thanks ol buddy
How’s it holding up? Mines loose and gotta fix it too.
it held up good last year...if your tall It makes the handle a little shorter....other than that its a good fix
@@RuffCut I just repaired it. The tail inside the handle was flat not round. I cut a dowel in half and wedged the tail into the drilled hole. Feels solid. Thank you.
@@instantsiv it should work....Thanks
