Yes, do what lefthand said, heat and weld a bar to the end for a handle and keep flat while forging. When you get the material to a workable size, cut off handle and fully grind the weld off. Don't forget to save some for a quench test. Like Rich said "Just remember what JOHN said".

The mind is nothing without the body and the body is nothing without the mind. You need them both to make the rational decisions we so make every day. Some we don't put as much thought into them as we should, and others we take a little too seriously. So slow down, take a breather, and think.
