I've started a new line of standard awl hafts that will sell for $85.00. $150 with a blade. As with a my Artisan Made line, the blades are secured into the haft with two 8-32 hex drive set screws. These tools are not a cheap budget item. They are turned by me on a manual lathe and are made with the same attention to detail as all of my Red Ox brand tools. They are simply less detailed so take less time to make. I'm happy to be offering a more affordable tool that will perform at a high professional level.

Well, life is busy here at the Hoytsville Hermitage. I'll be updating the Red Ox Brand website soon. For now, here are some images of my offerings. I have some really nice modeling tools coming up and am considering offering some bevelers to my line. My new awl blades and hafts are working out well, with valuable feedback. I'm making old style European awl blades that taper from tip to haft. Pedro Pedrini is trying one out and he likes the way it works. The trades haven't had blades like this available for decades, and I'm excited to be offering them. Pictures and prices coming soon.
Stay tuned and please contact me for more information or help with your leather working needs.
