A dart awl for darts in 20 minutes

Hello, dear visitors of the site. Tonight I was faced with the fact that I didn’t have what I needed at the moment, and quickly made it out of an unnecessary dart for playing darts. Everything took me about 20 minutes! (If I hadn’t photographed, it would be faster))))). I want to share this “technology” with you. )))). Maybe someone will come in handy.

And it took for this:

1. Dart for playing darts.
2. Furniture bolt M6, length 70 mm. (This is in my case. You can take a bolt of any length)
3. A fragment of a wooden handle.

Instruments:
1. Any saw. (Cut a piece of cuttings)
2. Emery.
3. Drill, or screwdriver with a drill with a diameter of 6 mm.
4. Sandpaper.

... I repair shoes myself. I have in my basement for this "paw" and everything you need. Today for this purpose I needed an awl. I did not find him. (I currently have a construction site. And this is a terrible lack of time !!! Therefore, it is not possible to maintain the necessary order! Besides, the tools are needed here and there. It is quite possible that I took the awl to the construction site and left it there. The second awl (I remember exactly) my daughter asked me to bring, but I still haven’t returned it yet.) In any case, he wasn’t at hand, but it was needed. Looking around, I looked for something to replace it with. My gaze came across this dart dart game:

I decided to work with him. But, as it turned out, this is very inconvenient - it, in addition to the "warhead" is made of soft plastic. Pressing hard is almost impossible. Then I unscrewed the plastic rod with the plumage.

And I found that they are connected by means of a threaded connection. The thread there was an M6.
Since working with a short “awl” was inconvenient, I thought about how to lengthen it. For this, I decided to use the furniture bolt M6 70 mm long, which were in my basement.
It remains to come up with what would be used instead of the handle. In the basement was a broken stalk from a panicle.
By the way, I do not always throw away, but keep in stock such cuttings from various tools. (Sometimes you need a handle for a file, for example. Then you can cut the desired length, fill a metal ring cut off from the water pipe and deposit the file. This is an example.)
I sawed off a segment of the desired length:
Then, using a power drill, I drilled a through hole with a drill diameter of six millimeters through the "axis" of the workpiece:
He inserted a furniture bolt into the hole and gently hammered it a little so that the tetrahedral part under a smooth hat made itself a seat in the wood:

After that, it remains to put on the puck and screw the metal part of the dart onto it:
After that, I removed the excess on an emery, giving the handle a rounded shape on top and narrowed below:
I made the final fine-tuning by clamping the resulting awl into the chuck of a screwdriver and polishing the handle on sandpaper.
As a result, after twenty minutes of work, I got a very convenient awl, with which I easily completed the work I started:
It is very comfortable in the hand and has a smooth upper part, which is good to press.
Over time, it will be possible to coat the handle with varnish, or paint ...
I’ll finish it later ....
After some time, a friend saw the awl and became interested. I explained how it can be done in 5 minutes .... He clung to the phrase "5 minutes" and began to argue that it would take an hour ....
... I bring to your attention a video in which I made one more such awl "live" ... Watch the time - I really met five minutes:
