How Do You Use A Scratch Awl?

A scratch awl comes in handy when a pencil or marker does not show up very well on any material you need to mark. This tool is easy to use, and it lasts longer than a pencil or pen. Buy a scratch awl at any hardware store.

Pick one that is comfortable in your hand. It doesn't need to be expensive; however, it lasts a long time, so you should spend extra money for one that's sturdy. Sharpen your tool.

A dull scratch awl is almost impossible to use. If it needs to be sharpened, use a metal file to create a sharp point. Draw the file down the shaft to the point of the awl while slowly turning the awl.

Measure exactly where you want to make a mark with the scratch awl. You can't erase a mistake like you do with a pencil. Measure twice and draw once when using a scratch awl.

Place a straight edge beside the point where you need to mark. Hold the straight edge firmly; if it moves, your line will not come out true. Hold the scratch awl at a slight angle so the point is up against the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
