Hello, came across what i think is an old simpson (based off image of where previous label was) and wanted to re-knot with a 22mm x 65mm TGN flattop badger knot. Thats the smallest flattop i could find.
Diagram is below showing measurements. Original knot is about 19/20mm. If i increaese hole to diameter of ~24mm and a depth of 21mm to accommodate knot that leaves me with about 4.5mm (at narrowest part) and 5.5mm (at widest) of material left.
Do you think that will make handle too fragile or prone to cracking?
