So working on one of my Sekrit Projekts I found I needed an awl. Sadly all of mine are missing and my sewing awl is in one of about one hundred thousand boxes full of unorganized miscellany… so I grabbed a nail, a bit of wood, and headed on over to the lathe.
A little shaping, a little sanding, and a little bashing with a hammer and I have an awl.
I am mighty.
A very useful tool. And one of a kind at that.
I’m pleased with it, I thought I might need to epoxy the point in place or something, but it is holding strong.
