Scrapwood awl

Nice work, Devon. I like the casing ferrule.

Thanks,

I wish I could claim ownership of the idea of using a cartridge casing for a ferule but I stole that from a youtube video. I think its a neat touch

I like it a lot.
If that’s the scrap, I Look forward to seeing the mallet.
Kind regards

That is one fine looking awl. The knob looks like it is just the right size to get a good grip without causing hand cramps.

I love it. That looks like a 45 casing for the ferrule. That is a great idea. May I borrow it?

cheers, Jim

That casing ferrule is genius. What kind of steel did you use?

I have no idea. Is some stuff I got from work that was over with our torch. I assume some sort of brazing rod. What I know is that it is steel and it is hard as hell.

That is a beautiful awl. Your friend will be so grateful

Where did you get the metal parts?

The steel is just some scrap we had over by my cutting torch at work. All I know is it is steel of some sort and very very hard. I have no idea what it is.

The brass for the ferrule is a rifle cartridge casing cut down. An idea i stole from a YouTube video
