In preparation for shooting the sequel to my short film "Viking Proverb", I made a spear with the Windlass Hewing Spear head. I mounted it to a short flag pole, the type you'd hang off your porch. This made the spear very short, but also very maneuverable. I used a nail to secure the head to shaft and simply cut the point off and peened it over. Because of the way the hole in the spearhead was cut, the peen actually ended up flush with the rest of the socket. Look for this badass weapon in the short film "Viking Toothache".
The nail end peened over to lock the head onto the shaft.
A look at the original nail head.
