Project Information

These are the 3 scratch awls that I have completed. The middle one is Leopard wood from Peru. (I think) The shaft is 01 1/4" steel. I chucked up the 7" piece in my cheap drill from HF and turned it on and then turned on my 4×26 belt sander with 60 grit and got a nice taper. The ferrule is a brass nut from Big Orange turned on the lathe after putting it on with epoxy. I used a large 1/2" thick scraper to make it round, using really light passes. The other two are Cocobolo and I used 3/16 stainless. The one on the right is the one I use the other ones are spoken for. I get my steel from a local retail steel outlet that sells cut offs. I paid $12 for the SS I got and I have enough to make 12 more. Oh the awl on the right has a 6" piece of steel with 4 1/2" exposed. The finish is CA with EEE and Renaissance wax.
