    Default leather awl

    Made up a leather awl from a chunk of drill rod, piece of bone and poured a tin bolster. Don't really need a awl but do like to fiddle around. Polished it up a bit with linseed oil and rottenstone might get a buffer for my dremel and get into the cracks and crevices but probably will leave it as is.

    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    That's a lot fancier than mine.

    I need to make one like that for sewing books. The one I have been using is too big.
