SCREWDRIVERS!
Added 2020-05-05 03:43:54 +0000 UTCRemember when we talked about these being made when we weren't all physically distancing? Me neither.
These have been in the works for a long time now and I am getting closer to finishing the design.
I do not yet know what exact type of steel for the body, or wood for the handles, or cost/price, but at least the design is there.
As always, Patrons get first access to these!

Nice bit of Walnut or some Zebrano to make it pop....I'll take 12!
2020-07-09 18:37:31 +0000 UTCthese are pretty cool. for the size the grind is fine for the tip, cause i can see this being used for more than its intended purpose. lol. though if these are introduced in smaller sizes, you may want to look at possibly doing a curved grind for the tips. it allows for much better purchase into flat head slots, and less likely to roll the edges of the screw. Wheeler gunsmithing screwdriver kits incorporate this grind. should check out a kit for some of the more intricate or finer screws.

2020-07-02 17:28:02 +0000 UTCMaybe a hole in the center to place another screw driver and get more torque?
2020-06-26 00:56:16 +0000 UTCWould need to be an alloy, titanium can be brittle
2020-06-26 00:55:14 +0000 UTCGreat Design, love the shape of the handle.

2020-05-30 12:02:24 +0000 UTCDelicious! Lemme buy some in titanium

2020-05-06 05:09:24 +0000 UTCSuggestion - add a wood handle to both sides. I own 10% if you use this idea

2020-05-05 19:27:14 +0000 UTCYES!! And a mini version for EDC!
2020-05-05 17:30:42 +0000 UTClove it! definitely want one
Ben
2020-05-05 17:00:20 +0000 UTCCan't wait to get my hands on one of these. I think your decision to offset the prying angle and the handle portion by 90 degrees is a smart plan.
2020-05-05 15:42:48 +0000 UTCMuch want. Hope it can make its way all the way down to the other colonies.
2020-05-05 14:26:18 +0000 UTCTake my money!
Russell Loud
2020-05-05 14:16:38 +0000 UTCYes, if this goes well, I will make more "normal" sizes.
Hand Tool Rescue
2020-05-05 14:00:36 +0000 UTCI want one!
2020-05-05 12:41:59 +0000 UTCI don’t think you make big enough!
2020-05-05 12:09:50 +0000 UTCOhh. Looking good!

2020-05-05 11:26:15 +0000 UTCI am not sure about that handle...it looks like it would be more comfortable with two sides, rather than just one. ;-)
Gene & Linnea
2020-05-05 11:14:35 +0000 UTCI can ship you walnut and quarter sawn oak cutoffs for handles if you want. What we are using in the shop right now.
2020-05-05 10:53:31 +0000 UTCI don't need one. I expect I will be ordering in the first batch, sigh.
Michael Steeves
2020-05-05 09:48:36 +0000 UTCVery Nice! I'll be down for two!
2020-05-05 09:10:04 +0000 UTCMy body is ready!
Jamie (The Custom Cave) Reader
2020-05-05 08:20:03 +0000 UTCGorgeous! Are you thinking of doing some that are sized for mere mortal screws too, or just the giant ones that are an appropriate match for such a legendary screwdriver?
Brooks Moses
2020-05-05 08:04:31 +0000 UTCScrewdriver? Looks more like a fancy murder weapon!
dreamer
2020-05-05 06:23:22 +0000 UTCGorgeous tool. :)
Mauricio Mariano
2020-05-05 06:11:40 +0000 UTCI can't wait to order mine! And what about the 9" engineers wrench?

2020-05-05 06:03:19 +0000 UTCBeautiful.
Tyler White
2020-05-05 05:23:44 +0000 UTCI need that wood in my hand.

2020-05-05 05:14:11 +0000 UTCThis'll look perfect over the mantle next to my Big Mouth Billy Bass Singing Sensation {tm] , or stuck into it's mouth. Or something.
ChuckD
2020-05-05 04:58:04 +0000 UTCI've always loved this style of screwdriver. Imma need at least two
2020-05-05 04:40:27 +0000 UTCToo sensual?...
Hand Tool Rescue
2020-05-05 04:28:25 +0000 UTCHaha! Oh 100%. First tests were with 1144 steel hardened to 55-60Rc, but I want to try even better steels.
Hand Tool Rescue
2020-05-05 04:28:14 +0000 UTCI am going to sell some with only brass pins and a template for people to make their own handles.
Hand Tool Rescue
2020-05-05 04:27:12 +0000 UTCHaha, it was made before the Nazis used that at their symbol, by Buffum Tool Co. from 1900-1924.
Hand Tool Rescue
2020-05-05 04:26:39 +0000 UTCOooooo_ ME WANT! ME WANT!! Okay, so when can we buy one or more?
2020-05-05 04:14:39 +0000 UTCPlease, I can only be so aroused.
Dan Dastun
2020-05-05 04:11:03 +0000 UTCVery sensual!
2020-05-05 04:08:03 +0000 UTCFantastic!!! Can't wait!!!!!
2020-05-05 04:00:58 +0000 UTCAs usual, your work looks awesome! My only vote is that whatever design you run with, that they are hardened - because I will put a tool like this to work on the most recalcitrant situations that occur in my shop. This design looks beautiful and useful. P.S. I may sleep with mine.

2020-05-05 03:52:13 +0000 UTCIm glad you are overcompensating for my lack of... large screwdrivers in my tool set

2020-05-05 03:49:07 +0000 UTCB E E F Y. Curly maple handles too.
Mitchell
2020-05-05 03:47:58 +0000 UTCI want some!
