New axe or a new axe handle ?

allthedoyles

So the handle has broken in my axe .

A new axe costs nearly €30 , even though I only need one for cutting small blocks .

Which would you buy .

Don't know how much a new handle cost , and I wonder is it easy to out a new handle in the old axe .

thats why you go down the back of the garden and chop the wood well away from anything that may be in the firing line , or chop up the wood on site before transporting it home for the fire

dont drink beer either as bad things happen when you drink beer and try to chop or cut wood
