The bottom of this aging broom fell off. We use it to sweep stuff out of our garden.

I had previously fixed it with a nail, but that broke. I think it was metal fatigue, and a very slender nail.

This time I'm using a relatively thick screw. It doesn't quite go all the way through, so it looks janky but I'm trying to be okay with it....

It's gonna break soon. The screw is weakening the wood.

When it happened me I attached the broken pieces to a block of wood so it now functions as a DIY boot brush.
