How to make an Awl with a Brass Ferrule.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Initially, I had absolutely no interest in this video; 20 seconds later, I was hooked! I loved your "quick" sketch that was so accurate as a mechanical blueprint, and your craftsmanship is amazing. I loved this video. Thanks. DD

Your Grandpa would be very happy to see the great craftsman you are with so many talents with various tools. Even better you make beautiful functional tools. Thanks for sharing.

[@oed84]

I don't give a hoot what anyone says; that awl is beautifully crafted!

[@wolverinebear5357]

I know this is old video but just want to say i think your grandfather would be very proud an impressed with your work.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

It's a nice tool to add to your kit. Nice craftmanship.

[@josephg.lombardo3090]

Truly beautiful and very functional. You are an artisan

[@pebblesthecat3625]

In your hands, even the simplest of tools becomes a work of art, worthy of a place in any museum, where those with an eye for beauty, can look at it with awe and inspiration.

[@davescreations7793]

You are so Ingenious on how you get around the small struggles that tool making is so thanks

[@nickwales2667]

A more accurate motto for me would be, "if you're going to make it, try not to break it." Great craftsmanship, really enjoy your channel

[@spec16231954]

I thoroughly enjoy your boat building videos. Your tool making videos are an unexpected and much appreciated bonus! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dozukime]

Nice job. I also love brass fittings with wood tools, well anything wood, also boats!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks 👍

[@danielirvine7468]

Love the scotchbrite trick!

[@stevenclark8962]

Very pretty tool. I’m sure your grandfather would be proud to see his old tools go to great use! Thank you for the fantastic info. I would like to make my own awl now as well!!

[@STPjib]

I would love to see a short video on your workbench.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Your artistry keeps making this channel so fun to watch. Beautiful awl. Another of the tools you have made that I just have to make for myself. Thank you so much for the wonderful videos.

[@GeeksWoodShop]

Very enjoyable video and lovely awl. Thanks!

[@zackkardakos1979]

very nice!!!Ilike your way, you love what you doing.thank you.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thank you too!

[@thomasarussellsr]

I could hear you much better in this video. Thanks for addressing the vocal volume. Awl looks pretty good. Maybe a square awl next? They work great for poking and for drilling points into wood for a better mark prior to drilling, screwing, or nailing. Just a little wrist twist and you're all marked. Square awls work well for plastics and leather as well.

[@rainbowchild63]

Excellent work,Bob!The awl made with love.Best wishes!

[@diceman2004]

Beautiful , Olive is just a great looking wood .

[@mrklyles]

Very nice Bob.

[@mogbaba]

So easy, but only in skilled hands.

[@idiotluggage]

Great work Thank you for sharing.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks for watching!

[@rsamaran]

You’re amazing 😀 And thank you for making such beautiful work.

[@josemenezes9264]

Beautiful. Truly magnificent, simple and aesthetic.

[@jackdotzman2908]

Beautiful awl, beautifully edited video. Thank you for sharing your God given skills, watching you make this awl was most enjoyable. Jack/Missouri

[@fd-911]

Love your tools videos. Your attention to detail and inventiveness are inspiring. Thank you. If i may ask, how did you start? Do you build boats for a living or just as a hobby? Thanks again

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks! This intro video will give you an idea of my past. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haHan3-Bfq2arsk

[@Steffenator]

I love your tool builds. You do excellent work, sir. 😎👍🏻

[@debramcknight]

Love all your tool videos. Make more, please!

[@PaulHarold]

Another good one Bob!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very nice! Great design, might need to make one myself.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very nice, I really like the way you used the bolt for the metal shaft. Mmmmm something to make on a rainy day but alas I don't have a lath. Time to improvise and over come

[@thomasarussellsr]

Do you have a drill press? If yes, then you are 80% of the way to having a lathe. Loads of videos out there on using a drill press for or making a lathe. BTW, a lathe and lathe tools will do the brass too. Carbide lathe tools are slightly better with the brass, but HSS will cut/scrape brass beautifully.

[@Fyreaway]

Flare nut as a ferrule is brilliant.

[@Dave51262]

Great design. Love your idea using the long bolt. I had made an awl similar but not quite as nice. Can you recommend how to resharpen the point? I can't figure a way yet to get it spinning to file or honing stone. Just came across your channel and it looks great. Thanks.

[@lisag2771]

Very nice!

[@robertbamford8266]

Bolt in drill for a symmetric shape. Ingenious. Thank you.

[@scottmartin7717]

Genuinely beautiful project with a wonderfully documented process. One question though: How much larger should the diameter of the wood be than the ferrule which it accepts?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Scott, I made the wood diameter slightly larger (1/64") than the inside of the ferrule. It is threaded so one could screw it on instead of heating it the way I did. Thanks for watching! Bob

[@twokharacters]

Next video when!? Also, what ingenuity!! How impressive to use such common items and shape them into something one of a kind.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

t Khrist Thanks,new video being edited today.

[@twokharacters]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Can't wait.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Very nice looking awl. Your other one looks quite unwieldy by comparison, especially for fine marking. Stainless is a good choice for the job too, rather than tool steel.

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Great video. Very clear 🇦🇺👴🏻

[@calvary1808farm]

Nice job!

[@Tinmanstees]

Looks Great.

[@plakor6133]

That looks similar to my 1950's Monkey Ward lathe. Sounds like it, too!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

xoney She’s not pretty but sure get the job done.

[@plakor6133]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding yes, indeed. Does yours incorporate a morse taper? Mine doesn't. Rather limiting. But, like you say, gets the job done.

[@BobBlarneystone]

I like the design, but I think I'll use a harder steel.

[@johnnyserratt6176]

My way of spreading epoxy is with a chop stick sharpen one end in a pencil sharpener the other end flatten with a knife. When epoxy is dry just sharpen and flatten again.

[@thomasevans5467]

I really love these tool making tangent videos!!! Any thoughts on getting a real metal lathe in the future?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I've been on the look out for a metal lathe have found on yet. Thanks for watching.

[@danojames8329]

Awesome n sweet

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

Quick question sir, where did you have your logo punch made?

[@rottiejakeluke]

Please send me the details about the brass fitting used. Thanks

[@joeleonetti8976]

Do you have a good source for olive wood? I'd like to do a woodworking project with it.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I got my olive wood at Woodcraft. Here is a link: www.woodcraft.com/products/olivewood-bethlehem-2-x-2-x-6?via=5d112bea776f6f4e030006e2%2C5d112d06776f6f4e03001245%2C5d113015776f6f2fb900175d

[@donbaker7883]

how are you doing with riveting frames to floors on haven

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Working on them now!

[@donbaker7883]

good....can t wait to see how you drill the holes with only 7.5 clearance ...and how to bang on those copper rivets in a close quarters

[@rottiejakeluke]

Why Danish oil vs. BYO? Thanks

[@ינוןהולנדר]

IF I MAY SAY MAKING A PIN VISE IS THE SAME WORK ENDING WITH A VERSATILE TOOL WICH BEING AN AWL IS ONLY ONE OF THEM.

[@donbaker7883]

what happened to the little haven sailboat vids? are you ok

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks, doing fine. Been at the Wooden Boat School. Editing a new Haven video now be posted very soon.

[@donbaker7883]

[@danielirvine7468]
