By HAROLD SMITH Sometimes the home workshopper makes work for himself, as when he rips off a hammer handle in a '-wrathful assault on a stubborn nail to be drawn. One common way to meet this situation is to toss away the hammer head and buy a new hammer. The best way, however, is to install a new handle.

Replacement handles are stocked by most hardware stores. The best ones are turned' from straight grain, second growth hickory. They cost a bit more than the bargain handles, but they're well worth it. Remember, it takes no longer to put in a good handle than a bad one, and the good one, with judicious use, should outlast the user. When removing the broken stub from the hammer eye, drive it from the inner end, which usually is smaller than the outer eye and against which the wedges hold the wood.

Sometimes a stub will drive out more readily if you bake the head in a moderate oven for a few minutes to the swollen wood, On the new handle, mark out the eye shoulder lines very carefully to assure- a snug all-around fit against the eye when you drive the handle With a rasp or coarse file, remove enough wood so the handle will fit very tightly into the eye. To make certain that the new handle will "hang' properly, this wood removal should be equal on all sides.

Driving up a new handle has its own tricks. One is to bevel off the oval of the hand end with a rasp or file to lessen the chance of the handle's splitting under the blows required to whack it into place.

Another is to hold the handle and head suspended with no bottom support while you're driving.
