How to make an Awl with a Brass Ferrule.

In this episode of Tool Making Bob makes a strike-able awl with a olive wood handle and brass ferrule. An awl is an important tool for any boat builders toolbox let alone any craftsman It's really an essential tool that everyone needs. I've always had a Stanley awl which has worked really well for me. One of the thing I like about it is that the metal shaft runs through the handle. I can strike it with an hammer with out damaging the handle. So one would be able to punch leather or things like that. I'd be looking for a small lathe project and decided that an awl would be a great small project. I made this awl with and olive wood handle, a brass ferrule, and a tapered polished shaft. All metal parts are easily found at my local hardware store. awl (/ôl/)noun: awl; plural noun: awls a small pointed tool used for piercing or punching holes, especially in leather and canvas for sail making.
