If you don’t watch the video you’ll never know what one tool can do it all. This tool makes it easy and cheap to learn how to distress new wood to look old. I look forward to creating a variety of videos showing the wood distressing process. But for now I will start with this one video and one tool. I think the awl is a versatile tool that is only limited on what it can do by your imagination. Leave a comment in the video on what you think of the awl. I’d also like to hear about how you have used an awl in any unconventional or creative ways. ******************************* Check Out The Dude Sawdust Etsy Store for Merch and Digital Build Plans: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DudeSawdust?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Visit www.Patreon.com/DudeSawdust Visit Taytools Affiliate Link: 3,000+ Specialty Hand Tools for Woodworkers & Crafters of all types: https://lddy.no/12imo Support Dude Sawdust by purchasing though the Amazon affiliate links featured in this video: Awl 7 inch Dasco: https://rivr.link/LH9-JamJTh I could not find an Amazon link to a Behr Water Based Polyurethane but here is a link to another great finish that I love: Halcyon Clear Satin Varnish: https://rivr.link/LH9-jgSkZ8 ******************************** Filming Equipment Lavalier Microphone: https://rivr.link/LH9-VMa9e5 Lighting: https://rivr.link/LH9-s5t8lI ********************************* Follow me on: https://www.instagram.com/dudesawdust Contact: (I'm great at responding to my subscribers: Mention "Subscriber" in the subject) dudesawdustchannel@gmail.com ******************************** 0:00 Intro 0:19 There are many ways to distress wood 0:41 Dents, scratches, and holes 0:58 Tools for distressing wood 1:41 The awl does it all 3:36 How to distress new wood 5:16 Applying stain to distress wood 6:33 Applying water based polyurethane finish to distressed wood 6:59 The final product 7:08 Conclusion
