    Default Very little metalwork in both

    of these but they do contain metal...
    The mallet has lead inserts that I had to hammer to a roundish shape that would fit in the holes...25d x 20mm

    The brass ferrule on the awl was turned from an old faucet.15840795878504534360668167615279.jpg

    NICE WORK. I've made a few ferals out of old taps, amazing what can be made from them.

    Nice.
    Love that she-oak. Did you have to tap into the Merican market to find a faucet.

    Nah, Just a term that I picked up when I was doing pipework/mechanical services with real plumbers..they spoke that lingo for some strange reason...

    yet the plumber plumbers (in same organisation) just called them taps...
