Blades (stage 4) Part 3 - Attaching Handles

The handles have been stuck on. Dad reckons he has to drill through the ball to MAKE SURE it all stays in place. It should be alright, but he wants to do that to be safe rather than sorry. However, I just hope that goes to plan. There's a lot of hoping involved in cosplaying it seems... -_-'

1.) Handle (on shed floor).
It looks precarious, I know.

2.) Handle on blade (side).
It's attached this time.

3.) Handle on blade (from above).
Attached of course.

4.) Handle with U piece shown (not attached yet).
Those U pieces have been re-painted since I took that picture.

5.) Holding the blade.
Without any support underneath there.
