For that little one you just hold it yourself with one hand and hammer it with the other.
When they were boring holes for dynamite to build railroad beds one guy would hold the steel while three or four stood around it with hammers and hit it in succession while the holder twisted it after every blow. They just went around and around in a circle, one guy after another whacking the steel, they had songs they chanted to keep up the rhythm.
