repairing wooden handled digging fork

Here we have the fork head,the discardable metal socket with the broken stub, a 2 ' piece of black pipe (from a gas line intallation), and the 4'3" stainless steel display rack pipe (1 1/4" o.d.) We're now ready to assemble the tool.

The shank on the digging fork has to be ground down slightly at the four corners so that it will slip snuggly into the black pipe for the weld up.
