A new addition to our awl list! This awl uses the barley twist model that I recently talked about in bitesize number 156. It may seem difficult, but there's a real logic to doing it and it's much simpler than you might think. Trust me. Awl's are also easy to make as I've tried to demonstrate with the other 11 builds. You only need a nail and a block of wood. Expensive tools are nice but you can get by with very little and be proud of the creation you came up with. Make one for another builder you care about, these also make great gifts!
