This photo shows the copper tip mounted to a wooden handle with 1 tiny nut and bolt.
Since this is a tool to be used with a very light touch it should be fine.
It's important for the tip to be held mechanically rather than glued or bonded since the repeated heating of the tip would likely cause failure... besides I don't want to breath heated epoxy or crazy glue. Just call me old fashioned!
Now to make some wax bullets and find my alcohol lamp!
