Here is a tiny tool I've just made to easily repair my woodies. I've made it in a piece of oak.

I use it with a band saw, and use wood glue

Here is a scan of the piece of wood I use. This is a full size image, the size is 14cm by 25 cm (sorry guys I'm using centimeters rather inches).

Neat jig. I'm still sanding on my taper sander and gluing the 2 bevels together. That looks a lot stronger.

Now that looks easy enough for even me. Thanks. Alan

Obviously, also a great way to add a hardwood foot to a softwood shaft. Great idea. Merci, Phil!

Thanks guys. I forgot to add that you usually end up with a small bump due to a slight excess of wood :

I correct that with a plane :

then sand it and no more bumps, "et voilà" :
