I have come across a large number of old tools without handles. They are files, chisels, sledgehammers, hammers, etc.
I also have a stock of dry woodworking timber like ash. Is there a good description of how to manufacture new handles? Especially how to make them fit securely. Metal ring reinforcement, etc.
Grateful for tips.

Look at the tools being sold - feel them - weigh them in your hand
Visit museums that have older tools
Start by copying a good handle that you (or a friend) have at home.
