This is closest to plan. start with a disc- heat to good shaping color- put over cone shaped hole- with male cone mandrel drive metal into socket - pickup slightly larger cone male, which I have, drive in to "finish swage." To a chisel blade, forged/swaged, fire up good old OA torch and weld together- extra metal deposition to shape for graceful transition.
irnsrgn- I should force myself to improvise, but time is not on my side. I have some demand for these and within the last 3 months, my income has reduced by two-thirds.A fine young fellow in KY will turn the handles. I have a 1/2 cone swage- both cones are too big and it was too dear to modify. I may just have to do the vise - reamer deal after drilling a 3/8th guide hole so the reamer doesn't try to walk all over.jet( I have the small size reamer- I can do a test run.)
