My Garden Tool Turned Door Handle

I needed a door handle for my new rustic garden shed. I hunted and couldn't find anything fun so I decided to go digging through my garden tools. I have my favorite tools and the rest just sit waiting for me to use them...
so I finally found a use for this little cheap hand cultivator I have had for years and never used.
My new door handle.
I know it must be a cool idea if my teenage son says "that handle is cool mom. How did you think of it?"
I knew that the metal tool did not go all the way to the end of the handle (I had the shovel to this cheap set fall apart and it was barely under the handle) and so ran into the garage and got my Rigid drill, a long screw, and the drill driver. It took 5 minutes and I had a cool looking handle for my shed door.
Now I wish I hadn't put all those other tools in the garage sale last spring.
So if you have some old hand tools lying around and a door on a shed that needs a bit of whimsy, here is your solution!
