I envision it to be much like a metal lathe tool bit with the end
properly ground and protrudng just enough from two strips of wood
fashioned to make a handle. Wear your face shield!

Foolish thought perhaps but why not just try using a hacksaw or better
yet a backsaw (because it is more rigid), with the lathe running at the
slowest speed?
