Excellent video. Thanks for posting it. I can see that I will have to spend a good deal of this weekend sharpening my awls.

I've sharpen my first awl while watching this video, and as Nige mentions do it for 2 hours, so put some time aside to do it... After watching the video you still have another 1 hr 40 mins sharpening... So spend this time watching his other excellent videos - saddle stitch etc. you will watch these more than once - I think I've watched them 3 times now and not even done a stitch yet.

But one the 2 hrs were up sharpening - my awl was much better and glided through 4mm of leather as a hot knife though butter. Nice!

Nige - I just received an order of two diamond awls this week, and this video has been a great help in preparing them for the work ahead. Thank you.
