Don't bother with the wood glue, it doesn't stick to metal. I made one spear head and it pressure fit the shaft so well I didn't use any other method to hold it in place. It would take a beig hammer or a fire to remove the head.
Hang on a sec and I'll look and see if I have pics.

Found it. Now let's see if I can get it attached.
