Manual awl measuring 170 mm, with a wooden handle and a 2.5 mmpoint, for making wire holes or preparing eyelet seats in frame side bars. A simple option for occasional work and for anyone who prefers to control each hole without using a drill.
Mark every point at the same height and support the side bar on a firm surface. Hold the point perpendicular to the wood and advance with gradually increasing pressure and a slight twist. This keeps the wire runs parallel and prevents the foundation from sitting crooked when embedded.
Do not force the awl near an open grain or the end of the wood. First make a clean hole and insert the eyelet before tensioning: the eyelet spreads the friction and reduces the risk of the wire cutting into the bar. Store the point clean, dry and covered to prevent puncture injuries.
