Luke, I enjoy watching you and your Dad’s gardening content! No gimmicks, no tricks, no flash and dance; just solid gardening information and advice from years of gardening experience. I’d be grateful to win some of the tomato seeds, it would be a terrific way to excite and introduce more folks to gardening here in Austin. It’d also be a great way to give your dad a run for his money and perhaps do a “grow along” with shared updates. Cheers !

I’m a dairy farmer, just found this channel. I’m definitely going to be fixing broken rakes and pitchforks from now on. Loved the rendition of “He is exalted” playing in the video

I like the sense of fixing old tools like this. Sometimes I notice the repaired area is stronger than the remaining stock, and a second break starts to develop. Guess it is time to replace the entire handle. Just rebuild my 20 year old wheel barrow- stained the teak handles, painted the rusting metal, changed out the fasteners, and a new tire. Just hauled 6 cubic yards of dirt with it. Am enjoying your channel.

That wood glue is good stuff!

@jarnevanbec2886 4 ай бұрын

I learned that wood glue is stronger than the natural wood glue lignin. So fixing broken pieces actually creates a stronger bond as long as the break is somewhat parallel to the wood fibers.

This is fabulous! This is how i was taught to repair handles when i was young. Its so great to see somone fix what's broken instead of throwing it away. Which diameter tubing works for the size handle you've repaired?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind remarks! I used the 40mm or 1-1/2" tubing

Sir: I am the last person to ever try to tell you what to do, but I noticed that your winding that thread like I would But Im Left Handed, I believe the next time you have to do this process, start by winding the thread Away from you instead of towards you, it should feel less akward, same way I replace wornout fishing rod guides, hope this makes sense ( I am Left Handed Ya Kno, we don't always make sense in a right Handed world)

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for the great tip! That makes sense and it would help wind the string nice and tight and not feel strange coming out of my fingers going that direction. Thanks!

I like this, it meets my sense of the need to fix things. However, I have ask, was the cost of materials greater than just buying a new handle?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 3 ай бұрын

Much cheaper than buying a new handle.😁

Can you do a tutorial on a broken fiberglass handle?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

Scratching head.. I'll have to think about that one. :-) Easy fast way is to go to your local hardware store and buy a Fiskars shovel. They're guaranteed for life and if you bend, break or destroy your shovel in any way, just text Fiskars a photo and they'll send you a shovel for free in the mail! I bent one of their shovel handles and sure enough, they shipped me a brand new one for free!

@jesusisGod1434 4 ай бұрын

The reason why I ask, my husband is an inspector on roads and sewers for an engineering firm. He is the “That’s not right, you have to take it out and redo it”, guy on site. He comes across lots of left behind tools and brings these orphans home and makes it a project that may never get done. Most recent is a hoe, with a fiberglass handle that was broken. I know we live in a throw away society but some things can not be fixed and end up in my trash or become my problem. So I wondered if it was possible . So I think the answer is no. And he should throw it away. Thank you.@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork

My handle broke at the shovel head. Don’t know how to fix it

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

Might have to drill off the end of the steel rivet(if it has one) in the socket, and remove the rivet/pin. Then drill the remaining wood out of the socket. Next, find a properly tapered/curved wood replacement handle and attach it, reinstalling a homemade rivet/steel rod where the old one was removed. Hard to know without seeing what you have.

Maybe they will make a video showing us how? I need to do that too
