I found a series of videos in which Baba Masayuki, famed gennou blacksmith, cuts and fits a handle for one of his hammers.

This should show links to videos two and three.

Bumbling forward into the unknown.
Thanks. Within the past week I made a handle for my gennou head. Wish I had seen this earlier. I didn't think to file the hammer head. Then I put the gennou head on 2 blocks of wood and beat the handle in. I liked his way better.
