This is one of the best threads I have seen in any wood work forums. It is my one passion. We have a house full of antiques and old collectibles.

My aim is to refit my workshop with old collectible and hand made tools. I started off with a copy of a simple awl a friend gave to me and down the slope I went.

I have made a heap of awls to give away as presents, a carpenter's mallet, a Mike Wenzloff style dovetail saw. On the horizon are some marking gauges, wood planes, bow saw, and off course some more brass backed saws.

Thanks for sharing. You are all an inspiration.

Peter.
