Where can I get my garden fork fixed. The handle has snapped!?

I've snapped the handle on my old wooden garden fork. Does anyone know where I can get it repaired? Thanks

where can I find a handle for tines that fit into a rectangular or square hole in the end of the handle

You can buy a new shaft with a handle attached - drill out the aluminium rivet head and drive the rivet out and knock out the broken wood from the head of the fork.

Insert new handle - drill 6mm hole through wood for the new (supplied) rivet - insert it and hammer down - finished.

I did one today - shaft from Garden Centre (bit expensive at £8) it took 10 mins.
