Was working on the shed, and the Hammer head gave way. I found the store where I originally bough it and bought a new handle. Modified it to fit and put it on. Now the hammer can do its job again

This is worse than scissors packaged with zip ties. You need a hammer to assemble your hammer

    Well, you need a hammer to perform a repair on a broken hammer. And you need a drill to get the old hammer that's jammed in the head out. And a saw to get rid of the excess on top. A band saw is best, and also my preferred method of taking material from the slot if needed.

    It seems the workshop is a circular list of dependencies and the product is mostly the persistence of the workshop.

    No. The workshop has a list of dependencies, if you don't want to just throw stuff away when something has a very simple break like a hammer handle.

    I pulled a sledge hammer head out of a dumpster because someone didn't want to replace the handle. I did want to and did so, over 15 years ago, been using that sledge ever since.

    Everyone's free to replace a broken tool and move on, but if you have a workshop in the first place you're probably the kind of person that likes fixing stuff. I think the disposability of modern urban developed societies is a crime.

    Well you don't need another hammer just a rock or hard surface. You can then smash them in by holding it upside down
