Woodworking Awl (photos fixed)

(1/3) > >>

adamriley:
This is my first post , so please be gentle!

I don't have any Wip photos, but here are a few shots of an awl I made on my Barker lathe.
The materials are Stainless Steel (not sure what grade, but it's non magnetic), Cocobolo and silver steel (which I hardened and tempered in my kiln).

I am a cabinetmaker by trade, but am starting to make woodworking tools...





Besides a 4 morse mandrel this is the first real project I've completed on my lathe.
I need to get some tooling and make a radius turner for the lathe I think.

Thanks for looking.

Adam.

Hi Adam!

That is a NICE looking awl. I have found that some hand made wood tools can works of art in themselves... I saw a hand planer once that was amazing. This one fits in that category.

Just one complaint, when I clicked on the picture to see a larger one, I got an error saying your album was private. Any chance on making a public one so we can see bigger pictures?

Again... very nice.

Powder Keg:

adamriley:
Wow, thanks for the generous replies.
I've made the album public. Never realised you could even choose, to be honest!

Thanks.
Adam.
