Absolutely brilliant, I'm a craftsman with 35 years experience and to make such an excellent end product from just basic tools is the sign of skill & ingenuity. I'm sick of watching videos with professional workshops but it takes far more talent and makes projects for amateur DIYers achievable.

If you are interested in the tools used in this video: www.thesmallworkshop.com/my-tools/

I am totally impressed... what a great objekt with such simple tools... Thanks for spending such an inspiration. Thanks for showing

Beautifully finished and I like the way you recycled the materials...first class and we can take tips for making other tools and jigs etc - great video especially speeding up the tedious bits.

Awesome job! Without seeing the video, one would never know it was made with "primitive" tools. It reflects on your awesome skills with the tools you have. That is well beyond my talents.

Hats off to you Sir! Necessity is the Mother of invention and you confirmed that. A lovely tactile tool made with your own fair hands with what you had available. A man after my own heart who uses his brain and not his wallet and workshop. I found you by accident and will investigate your other videos. Top Marks!

What a great pleasure to see a true craftsman at work, especially one that can think out of the box........Pure class

7:14 Part is coming loose, Drill keeps spinning!....chucks coming loose as table is bouncing.....Guy keeps on working!!!! Phenominal determination! I love it :D But seriously....nice handy work

Great vid .. I'm throwing my lathe and getting my old 80s drill out .. 👍

That is amazing , no lathe no problem solution. Hats off to you sir

It was fun to watch you develop this from a sketch into a full product. Thanks for sharing!

Some excellent problem solving. Turned out great. The masonry bit lends an interesting design element. ATB Ryan

You, sir, are a brilliant craftsman. There are a lot of very talented folks on KZread showing off a lot of talent, but to do what you did with the tools you used makes you a magician in my book. I found this video after watching your new video on turning fire steels so I'm glad you got your lathe.

Great work! I love how you improvise and make do with what you have! The final awl turned out beautiful.

Nice looking project under some very strong tool challenges. Well done.

an example of doing the best you can with what you've got. nice job.

Beautiful job. Love the "one-speed-fits-all" lathe.

Nice build. With your skill set and ingenuity I look forward to future builds

Absolutely loved it and of course thank You for sharing.

Wow, there are some incredibly clever ideas in this video. Fantastic work!

Wow, that looks great. It's amazing what people can make with a small amount of tools.

I made a beautiful one yesterday after watching this video.Thank you so much for sharing mate

My goodness. What a truly brill way and the finished product stunning. ABIG WELL DONE for not speeding vid and no horrid music thumb up and subbed.

Brilliant design! Great results with minimal tools. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic ... some impressive solutions to problems. Both my grand fathers were tool makers. You've given me pause for thought!

Love your lathe and mandrel set. Proof that you don't need a perfect setup to do really good work. A handsome and useful tool.

Just commenting to say you are one of my favorite creators on KZread! Keep it up! Wish you had a new video every week!

Brave man, no one else could dare to operate his lathe. Good work

U R A TRUE INSPIRATION TO SOMEBODY LIKE ME WHO IS JUST GETTING INTO WOODWORKING AND WHO DOESNT HAVE MUCH MONEY FOR ALL THE FANCY NEW TOOLS. SO THANK YOU. :)

i like this video simply for the fact that even tho you dont have all the tools you need you still make what u wanted to make its inspiring i like how u turned the drill into a lathe of sorts

Absolutely fantastic; both metal work and wood work. Thanks a lot.

Awesome idea! Turned out to be very beautiful awl! Love it!

A ''WOOOOOOW~NDERFUL'' ARTWORK MY FRIEND.... what you do is the real craftsmanship of many years ago, today everything is used a few times and then you throw away, you must instead learn to repair the old tools, or build new ones like you, you're really very good. congratulations. ps. Sorry my bad English, I'm Italian and I studied English at elementary schools.

proper job with half the tools, gotta love this!

Very well thought out. And; very well executed. My compliments.

This is brilliant!! I’m looking to teaching my Grandsons how to use their hands and brains and we have very little money but you’ve shown me that I have basic tools that I can improvise with. We are your new subscribers !

You are insane. The most frugal thing I've seen in a while. Mad props

What a great piece of work using off cuts. Love it. Great skill. 👍👍👍

Love the way you use the tool before it is finished!!☺️👍

The choice of materials and adapted equipment is so inventive. The design and execution of the final piece is exquisite.

I love how you used the awl while making it

A thing of beauty. Should be in a display case. I'm making one this weekend. Very watchable video as well.

Love this - no way you should be able to do something that noise without a lathe! But you did. Inspiring.

never seen making such a beautifull lathe by hand...you are very very smart to do that...all my cmpliments from the netherlands gr. Arie

Now, *that's* an awl! Beautiful video production too - well done!

A piece of art. I like the way the you use simple tools to make something like this. Thank for the upload and i try to make one by my self.

Exceptional quality. Great video. Thanks

Love the choice of reused materials and inventive use of tools, think I've found my design to go on, thanks...! :0)

Beautiful result. One of my favorite movie lines is Clint Eastwood as Gunny Highway in Heartbreak Ridge, “You’re Marines now. You adapt, you overcome, you improvise.” I dare say you have done just that. Darlington, South Carolina

That is a beautiful looking awl.. it'll last years too.. great video mate

Great video. Love the awl and very interesting how you repurposed things to build this!

Nice work, mate! The use of everyday tools was impressive.

absolutely flawless awl! great work on the DIY lathe, ima copy yours as soon as i get the chance!

Making do with what you have!!!!! Awesome job . The results say you are a true craftsman...

The old wizened drill bit now helps the new ones find their way.

I've tried to remember them especially his ones on his old tools hanging up with cobwebs on em and a big old auger there. i haven;t got it but thanks to your words floods of memories came back. the one i do was hen i asked why not clean them, his reply ahh they built many a thing for a home now retired they have become a home for many a thing he'd have loved thids vid

JUST BEAUTIFUL WORK AND I,VE HAVE PLENTY OF MASON BITS THANKS.

I watch a lot of KZread videos. This is one of the absolute very best!!!

BEAUTIFUL! YOU SHOULD MAKE SOME OF THESE AWLS AND OFFER THEM FOR SALE! NOT EVERYONE CAN MAKE SO BEAUTIFUL A TOOL!

This was really breathtaking! Wow, thank you :)

Very cool. I can't wait to try this. Well done!

Love it. I have been putting it off but now I'm inspired to start. Excellent work and video.

Nice tool and great use of the other tools to make this one. Ingenuity.

I keep forgetting the idea of using a drill for a lathe. great reminder of what can be "duplicated with ingenuity .excellent craftsmanship.good show on the heat treating too! another reminder of what to do properly. Thanks for taking the time to do the video and best of all for sharing.

this video is a joy from the beginning till the end

Two thumbs up for this project, absolutely excellent

That is a beautiful Awl. Well Done!! Frank

Beautiful. Love your creativity and ingenuity.

Looks amazing..love the brass ferrule you made

You did a great job on this piece, particularly love the "wood lathe"

Sir you inspire me, and i thank you for that.

Neccesaty is the mother of inventions. Well done.

You are very resourceful and talented, you got a new fan, thanks for the video!!

You did a great job making do with what you had. I would be proud of that handy work.

This was a pleasure to watch thanks for showing your work beautiful but very practical work

beauty - Beauty - BEAUTY and it was fun watching it being made 'gonna see what else you've made thanks

- lathe rigging hopping around like a panicked mouse - "Feisty little bugger!" I almost choked to death from laughing.

Dude, your a hero! What a great job. Hope you get some decent tools soon. Now I know why I keep collecting those coffee stirrers.

Great Idea and fine HANDWORK 👏👏👏👏👏

Love that twist in the shaft!

Wow.... That was incredible!

Great job, well done. A tool that will last a lifetime and you've had the satisfaction of making something for yourself. Not enough people do this in our throw away buy a new one society.

Very resourceful and fine finished product.

A very nice tool and cleverly worked out how to make it without a lathe.

Wow, nice man..This also shows you don't need to have fancy high end equipment to make something awesome !

Another awesome video. Your stuff is the best!

I am definitely going to make one of these, thanks bud.

very cool his work, amateur yes and for this much more valued for being a single piece and how to improvise, clean beautiful and good quality. Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Hugs

I like how you use the tool you're making to make the tool you're making.

Nicely down!!! That apple wood looks great and great use of brass and drill

Very well made, I really like your unconventional approach of making things & also using tools in a way that they were not originally intended for, I to use similer method's, great work well done 👍

Great Idea! Gonna have to give that a try myself!

I wouldn't be able to resist calling everything I made with it "Apple wood poked"

I made one of these last year based on this video. Every time I pull it out at my local makers' space I get Ooohs and Ahhhs. And that's the most important thing about an awl right? How many Oooohs and Ahhhs you get when you use it in public. I love mine. Yours looks nice too.
