The round object to the right is going to be a Saw blade, it will go darker as so not to be such a distraction.
That's a good plan, and I'd take the whole background way down in value as well. Play with the light on the saw blade. There's going to be a bit of reflection on the flat surface (nothing as light as the lights in your figure), and from a few of the filed-tooth surfaces. (Don't even try to paint in every single tooth.) Another thought - how about a handsaw or an old buck saw on that back wall, one the shape of which wouldn't be similar to the shape of the face and head?
