[TheForge] handles

[C&J Allcorn]

An actual question about handles...

All my life I affixed handles using a wooden wedge  then crossing it w/ 
a metal one.

Depending upon use, sometimes the came loose, sometimes not.

About 10 years ago I became interested in blacksmithing and bought one 
of Hoffi's hammers.  He used some sort of epoxy to hold the hammer to 
the handle and I don't think it has a wedge.

Does anybody have any idea what is the best way to attach a handle? 
Hoffi's epoxy has worked pretty well altho now it seems to be just a tad 
bit loose in 10 yrs of use.

What is the best epoxy to use if one were to use epoxy?
