Here is the finished tool. It's a little bit different from what I was originally going to do for it. The PDF I had read which instructed African tribes how to forge certain things dictated that you use a wrap around method of thin rod through the two holes and then coiled back around to make the handle. I instead drew out a length of .25 inches thick material that was a .5 inches wide and 9.5 inches long. Drawing out that length of material effectively doubled the length of the metal.

The cutting chisel was then mounted with two rivets I made from nails and then a wooden handle was put on through a process of heating the handle rod up and jamming it into a piece of wood to make a hole.

This kind of tool is meant to be operated by two people. One man, myself holding the tool in one hand and a pair of tongs holding into a piece of metal desired to cut in another. The metal is placed on the anvil and the second person swings a hammer down onto the flat spot of the hot cut chisel.

I don't really have a designated striker (person who swings the hammer), so I would have to rely on the help of a local 14 year old boy who I pay in soda and a burger every now and then to swing the hammer or sometimes operate the forge blower.
