What a lot of people don’t know about building their own tools, is that there is a bit of magic that comes with doing so.
When I bought a box of 6D nails, I realized how silly it would be to use just a couple of nails. Instead, I thought, I’ll make a contest and give away awls. But giving away an awl seemed flat and dull. With this contest, I hope to prove to others how incredible it is to make their own tools from the most beautiful scraps that they have lying around.
Down below, you’ll find a webpage that shows two methods to make an awl. Of course, you’re not limited to those two methods. After you’ve made your awl, send a picture of it to my email address (below). In the next 10 weeks, I’ll upload a video every Saturday on my Let’s Make Things channel. At the end of the video you’ll see a list pop up on the screen. If your name is on it, you won! Please see Rules and Other Information below.
