Awl Kit

Metal parts for creating your own awl.  Great for layout in woodturning and woodworking in general as well as other crafts such as leather work.
Wood NOT included.

Made from O1 steel, I personally shape and heattreat each shaft to make an awl.  The diameter is 1/4" down to the tapered point, with an overall length of about 3.75".   Also included is a flare nut with a 1/4" hole to serve as the ferrule.  You can leave this with the flats, but I believe it looks much better with flats turned away to produce a tapered brass look to the ferrule.   Check out other  examples of Alan's awls in the "Gallery" section of www.alanlacer.com
