The awl is one of my most cherished tools in my shop. In the next several weeks I will be uploading 10 copies of 10 different awl makes. Because no one needs 100 awls, I plan on giving them all away. If you'd like to win one as well as getting your picture in a video, take part in my challenge!

The "Empty Spaces" Awl is my tribute to Pink Floyd's song, by the same name.

Thank you to this week's winners! You'll be receiving a custom awl, a Make Things sticker and another surprise! Also, check out each of their channels!

I'd also like to personally thank Jason Bailey for the idea to use the drill press! Follow him over on instagram: instagram.com/jdbailey73
