Upcycling Old Tire to Protective Chisel Handle 11 16 2025

 So I have a large chisel that is designed to be hit with a mallet. The handle is one piece and indicated by left bracket.  The designation A in the diagram is what protects your hand while you hold the chisel lower than that and hit it with the mallet in your right hand.

That part just broke.  A piece of tire cut to that shape on a bandsaw with a hole drilled to a diameter slightly less that the chisel striking end diameter would work very well.  And that would be a good upcycling of and old tire piece.
