[QUOTE="Notquiteretired, post: 536445, member: 8038"] I've just replaced my shank at the weekend (we call them a Mel) last one luckily smashed off on impact and not on the way up! Carefully got the two metal edges out and made a 2-3" wedge out of the old shank. New shank in, old shank wedge in at 45 degrees as you look down and the 2 metal wedges in nicely spaced 90 degrees to the wooden wedge then the excess hickory battered and splayed across the top of the head and left in water over night. As good as new with a little bit of the old one for good luck! [/QUOTE]
