bruce johnson Report post Posted December 20, 2008 For what it is worth, Bob Douglas doesn't make jerk needles. (Sorry, couldn't resist). Most all of the jerk needles seem to chuck up into about anyone's awl hafts. You can get hafts from most all suppliers from TLF to anyone who carries Osborne to Dick Anderson, Barry King, or Bob Douglas. You can order the jerk needles from places like Weavers that have some parts for the needle and awl machines. I got a few kind of for the asking from an old shoe shop. I'd check around from a guy like that first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
