I did it without any powertools. I heated the end until it glowing red and the pushed it to the wood. This step was repeated until it made a hole in the wood. Then I shaped it using a rough file. Lastly, I inserted a brass tube at he front part of the handle based on its size. Keep it up! You did better than my first attempt years ago. I did it without any powertools.
