Scratch Awl
I finally got sick of hunting for a sharp nail whenever I wanted to mark something, and decided to do something about it. Sharpened a screwdriver and turned a small handle from a branch. The ferrule is part of a pipe fitting. About 6" long.

The Awl.
Hi SJM,
Yes, I like making those as well.
I found, some rather stiff wire, hard as all get out, & very hard to bend.
The Knob I Make is a little different, as I make it a bit longer, & they work very well.
Yours is very nice. I will have to have another go at putting Photos on here again.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.

A decent scratch awl is a pleasure, not only to use but to hold and I reckon yours is going to be one of those

When we do get sick of the ordinary we normally create or go out and purchase something. Good work.
