How to Make Wooden Screw Driver Handles. 

Thanks!

Great Idea! Thanks!

Thanks Bob! I agree so much nicer with wood

Thank you!

brian williams You are very kind! Thanks!

+Don Fillenworth Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Patrick Smith Thanks yes one of my favorite woods to work with!

Thank you!

Awesome would love to see them! Thanks for watching!

+Voldemar Tirex Спасибо!!

Thanks a lot Mike. Would love to see how yours comes out! Chris

Yes I love it. I guess Some folks are deathly allergic to it when turning though. Have to be cautious.

Chris Pine It is a strong irritant that becomes more severe with additional exposures. Eye and lung protection NEEDS to be used when working it. Most woods in the Dalbergia genus (the Rosewoods) require these precautions. Cocobolo is about the worst for this irritant effect.

Cool! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ron! I enjoy making the videos and the kind words from kind people like you! Chris

Thanks Tommy!

John Doe Thanks!

+Trevor Dennis Thank you!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

Actually the most important part of this video, or any handle video you skipped right over. The importance of drilling the center hole in the handle. When , how, why is the stuff sticking out of the end of the handle that appears to be something blue? People watching video's don't care to watch the turning nearly as much as understanding the process. If the center hole is not centered, of which you basically blew right by, it doesn't matter how well one turns. The shape isn't going to happen if the hole isn't centered, the handle secure on the lathe, how this all happened, could have been explained instead of cutting apart a old plastic handle to save the threaded insert. If the video is on turning a screw driver hole, the most important part is how and when to drill the hole, Mounting the piece before and after. Parting the handle of the lathe. The one who has never turned, won't get to turn, if this isn't explained. You missed the entire point of video.

Thanks!

+OrionsAnvil Thank yoU!

Thanks a lot!

Yes you do! :) Thanks!

+James Lucas Thank you very much! I agree. I have not tried a multi axis turning for these handles to make it oval. That will come sometime in the future!

Passion Woodworking Ah don't be scrd! :) Just make more! :) Thansk for watching! Chris

Olly Parry-Jones Thanks Olly!!!

+Anas PK Thank you!

Thanks Merry Christmas

While I have never made handles for rasps or files yes it is basically the same. Add a ferule and make the hole for the chisel to fit in. As with most things there are very good videos on that as well out there. I seem to remember one nto too long back from oru community here. Thanks for watching! Chris

Thanks Bob. Yes it can be expensive.. these particular blanks I have had for some time and I seem to remember I got them for a steal. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

wipe it down with acetone or denatured alcohol before you apply your first coat

Thanks! It is spray lacquer.

+Kyle Leggett Find some local folks perhaps that have a lathe and have them show you all how to use it etc... there are turing clubs all over. Chris

+Kyle Leggott Hey, kyle. I noticed you were interested in a lathe. I'm currently in the process of buying a wood turning lathe in india. The asian ones are much cheaper and are a good investment for a beginner. I don't think the freight will cost too much. Sites like alibaba and indiamart list a lot of suppliers. Make sure to look for mini bench lathes and ones for woodturning. Machining lathes (for metal) cost a packet.

Realmente no recuerdo lo rápido que tenía el torno. Por lo general, corro en el ajuste más alto para este tipo de giro. Esta madera es nuez y cocobolo, soy de Colorado. Gracias por tus amables palabras.

You are kind! I will see what I can do but I am not sure I can fully deliver with that project! :)

You know I have done that with pens that I have made... this time honestly I did not even think about it. I did not. Seems like it adheared ok... I guess we will see. Chris

Knotheads Cny No reason other than speed of use. You certainly could use epoxy and it would probably be stronger. Thanks for watching

Did you watch the whole vid? Look at about 2:03 Forstner bit

Yes I did. Also didn't fully understand the reason for off centering. However when making mushrooms on another video it was cool cause the wood gives the appearance of twisting or angled......but on another screw driver video a man did an off center and pointed out it keeps the screw driver from rolling.

OK went back tried to locate the exact moment you started to drill and the coloring on the video made it hard to see the bit and the fire well it was distracting but ok you used a forester bit......thanks Chris....love your finish I use a DEFT spray.

+Warren Dixon It is called a ferrule and yes it was a copper pipe fitting (union) that I cut in half. You could just as easily use a piece of copper pipe this size for the same purpose. It serves to help prevent splitting and the like on the end of the handle with use. Thanks for watching Good question! Chris

Yeah, if you don't put something on there (copper coupling is the most common) the first time you crank that tool or use it to pry something you'll split your handle or at least crack the connection point.

+Kyle Leggett NO Do a google search for wood turning clubs etc...

They are from a pipe union piece you can get at hardware store for a dallor or two
