    Just to add to this. 

    Take the hammer and measure the opening for the handle on both sides.
    In good hammers the opening will be conical, one measurement will be
    larger. 

    If both measurement are the same, do not bother with anything, just
    throw the thing away. 

    If one measurement is larger, make sure that hammer goes on the
    handle with larger opening first. 

    After that the John's method will work perfectly. It goes without
    saying that your new handle should have the same conical profile.
    Secure it with the wedge and you should have no trouble for many 
years
    to come.
