I decided to restore this vintage sewing awl I found in the attic. Take a look at the video, get inspired, and watch how I restored this hand tool. The blade itself, the metal parts and the bolt joint were all rusty and the wooden handle had few cracks in it. I made a homemade rust remover to get rid of the rust, sanded all the parts, and used epoxy resin to seal the handle cracks. Brief process description and used material below.

I like to repair and bring old rusty tools back to life and inspire others to build something. It is nice to repair our old jammed tools and make them useful and usable again. Hopefully, I inspired you and could help with your restorations.
