What a journey, haha. Replacing an axe handle with little tools and experience sounds like a challenging yet rewarding project. It’s impressive to see how you pushed through the setbacks to create something functional, with a unique, artistic quality. The “existential piece of art” outcome adds a whole new layer to the project, which is interesting to see. Proof that DIY isn’t just about perfection but about creativity and persistence. Great job 👏🏿.
