I call it the Machinist

[u/JJYak695]

I built this as a gift for my best friend who owns 2 manufacturing businesses; mostly machining parts of aluminum. After watching him run CNCs for a number of years I choose a toolset I thought would be useful for not only for everyday tasks but to also run a business, and while inside the shop operating manufacturing machinery… his favorite color is also blue. Pretty proud of this one, outa the few SAKs I’ve built this turned out to be the best one yet.

Haha yea maybe a little redundant but outa the back-tools options the awl is a favorite. For the intent of this build I figured it was more practical than any of the other options.

As a machinist of 15 years I can tell you I use the awl daily.

Good to hear. The idea behind it was essentially burr removal. My buddy has no idea I built this for him, as a seasoned machinist yourself what’re your thoughts on the toolset? Could you see yourself using this, what would you add or take away?

I answered you question in a different comment but did the ask, brother I use that as a scribe and I would love to have the inline style. That’s like game changer level of tool.
