the 2 metal pins are confusing ( pic 4 & 5)

the shaft enters from the other side, wont the pins get in the way? the shaft head wont go right through if the pins are in the way. i guess if i get the right fit it wont be an issue?

its not that they get in the way
understand your wooden handle doesn't occupt all of the space available inside the metal channel of the tool head that you've driven it into

those metal rings are wedges of sorts which drive the handles woodfibers outs to the sides filling in those spaces and compressing all the wood around so that in the future there is no climatic situations where to compressed wood given a chance to expand into voids wont fill them

and thus the head of the tool forever remains tightly affixed to the handle
