I needed a large screwdriver for the project I'm working on. My biggest one was nowhere near the size needed. I couldn't find one anywhere locally and thought it would be a cool little project. I thoroughly enjoyed it and reckon they look awesome. :)
Have you considered the risk of stress fracture in those right angles you filed in? You can still fix it by taking a round file with a diameter equal or greater than the material thickness and file those corners round... Even without load, just thermal cycling of day and night and seasons could cause local stress that leads to hair fractures. (The hardening may have already started such a crack}
@PaskMakes thanks for the lesson. Great upcycling worn out files! What did you mean by burning the file into the handle! I have some old tools I need to refurbish so I'm trying to learn.
@@fdort3971 that's what he did, didn't he? Pre-drill undersized, heat the tang and pushing it in, burning an exactly matching hole... That is a great way for handles that will see twisting force because the force is transferred evenly on all surfaces.
@@fdort3971 like I said: it makes for a 100% fit, which you can't possibly hope to achieve otherwise, unless maybe with a hole all the way through the handle. And even then it will be a massive pain of fitting and adjusting 100 times or more. So it allows for a more accurate fit with less work and effort.
I chuckled when you said it's only a screwdriver. It's only a beautiful pair of handcrafted tools that will be treasured by some lucky souls for many years to come. The handles are beautiful!
Your channel is why I started collecting old screwdrivers like this! There's one at my local antique mall. It's a HUGE machinist screwdriver that's $125 that I can't quite talk myself into.
"It's only a screwdriver", but for a craftsman it's a work of art. 1 in 1000 people would be able to make this and things like it. Congradulations& thank you.
Ive been watching you for years. I love to see how you've grown in skills and tools. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Awesome looking screwdrivers. Thank you for your videos ,ate. From Coffs harbour
I was thinking the exact same thing. I've been subscribed for about 7 years now, and everything about your channel and work has exponentially grown. And that is quite amazing because your start was very high quality!
Those are so cool! You probably already know this, but if you use a harder steel screw the same size as the brass screw, the steel screw will cut out the same size threads needed for the brass screw, and the brass will be easier to drive into the wood. Just drive in the steel screw, pull it out, and drive in the brass screw.
I don't have a steel one that size but I did think about doing exactly that with one of the brass screws. I think I just wanted to make an old hand tool though. :)
It’s great to see how much your workshop has grown and evolved over the years! I’m just getting started in crafting and it gives me a big boost in confidence to have watched all of your videos with hand tools and basic tools, including this one. Thank you for sharing your craft and your journey with us!
I love how oversized it is! Also, I really appreciate that you continually give free shout outs to other makers. It doesn't cost you anything but helps the others out immensely :)!
So I need a small turbine engine to finish my project. I'll make one while eating lunch and then finish the project. Pask is literally a genius! Thanks for all of your postings
Sometimes I wonder if your projects aren't outlets for your obsessions... which doesn't stop your videos from being absolutely fascinating. I admire your skill and precision. Fantastic.
At first: I've never seen screwdrivers like them before! I was surprised how you made them!!! Absolutly amazing... two more masterpieces got their "birthday"... Great job, great stuff!!! Chapeau 🎩👍👍🇩🇪🔨
We used a similar London Pattern screwdriver for screwing the door hinges, 60 years ago. The handle alone was about 10 inches long. Thanks for the video. Great work.
I have two London pattern turn screws like yours. The large one I've never used, the smaller one I use for my hand planes. I bought them for next to nothing and I couldn't just buy the one I needed and leave it's brother behind! Some day I'll need to turn some huge screws! By the way. Old time turn screws have a concave bevel and are made for specific size screws so they go into them straight!
Great project! I love the wood you used for the handles, and the irony of using a file to finish up a screwdriver made with a file. Someday, you should auction off the Bucket of Rust from under your belt grinder.
From a genetic perspective, we're all descended from the best toolmakers from generation to generation over hundreds of thousands of years. Those who enjoyed making tools, got a kick out of making the best tool they could (a stone knife, a fishing pole or a bow) would be better off than those who didn't. There are stone tools that are tens of thousands of years old that were very obviously built to be fancy rather than useful and indeed show no sign of wear. I'm sure some stayed up in the night to make a slightly better bow when others had gone to sleep. Not because they needed it, but because they got a kick out of it. The drive to create tools is bred very deep. Embrace it!
Or the brute that killed the toolmaker, stole his tools and had his way with his wife! I think there's more evidence of this scenario throuput history 🤔
I made a new handle for an old pattern turn screw like yours that I had found at a yard sale. It looks nice with a new black walnut handle. Added it to my mountain man tool box.
Good morning 🌅, Pask Makes, very nicely done, London Pattern Screwdriver, I have a few of these, from 4” up to 18” , sadly I gave my small one away, it was around 21/2 “ long, very very old, the good thing is if you need a bit more force you can use a adjustable spanner to put on the flat, many years ago, I boxed in a staircase for somebody, and I created a feature of all the brass screws going down at an angle, I got all the slots so they all lined up with each other, the heads of the screws were quite large, it was an idea that I gave to the customer and they said they like it, it took me nearly 2 days to line everything all up as there was hundreds of screws, my first screwdriver I made when I was 14 or 15 years old at school, I believe I still got it somewhere, as it’s more engineering than woodworking, I’ll see you are quite a talented young man, you have got impressive skills, I’m not quite sure the part of Queensland you live in, but I know somebody who lives in the Blue Mountains, I presume it is a big area anyway, but I am into music, this guy uploads music once or twice a week, and we have a little chat online, keep up the amazing work stay safe, from France but I am English,
Absolutely fabulous workmanship, brings back memories of my time as a cabinet maker using those sort of screwdrivers, there was something special about using old tools over what is produced today.
Gorgeous. I love that you showed working the metal after annealing and while hardened. I learned so much from you. It's information I may never use, but it's so interesting, Neil. Thank you so very much.
@@PaskMakes I love all that you make, but I'm a hand tool woodworker, so your hand tool work is what I enjoy the most. (I dream of having a proper metal workshop and smithy, so I like that too!)
Thanks Neil, they are a beautiful pair of Turnscrews, that timber is beautiful and will just get better with a build of finish ! I love this design and they're surprisingly comfortable in use, I have a few of a similar size one is almost identical in dimensions to the larger one and another is a little shorter but wider with a tip that is around 3/4". We're fortunate in the UK as they can be picked up relatively cheaply as there are still a lot around, ironically the big ones are less likely to be abused than the smaller sizes !
The grain on that wood is amazing. Wish we could get some of that oak here in the states. Those screw drivers turned out amazing, congrats on finishing your wheel. Merry Christmas.
That is really cool! The only additional thing I might have considered doing was adding a cross-drilled hole with a brass liner near the back of the handle on the flats, to provide a convenient way to hang especially the great big one. :) I love watching these builds!
super Cool Outcome Oddly Enough I’ve Inherited many of my Fathers and Grandfathers Hand Tools and I still use them Fairly Often as I Collect and Enjoy Antique Boats,automobiles and Motorbikes that Require using those Handtools A Simple Screwdriver is kind of Cool to see all the Battle Scars ,Repairs and maybe a Handle Replacement made by one of my Mentors
Beautiful. I have a couple of turnscrews passed down through the family, they're much, MUCH rougher but they have very obviously been well used by at least a couple of people. I don't use them often but nothing else works when nothing else works! Im tempted to make a few smaller versions and hollow grind them for really special use
Those two screw drivers are a work of art, you did a fine job as always. I worked as a shipyard carpenter for 30 years, the best driver for brass screws was a simple brace and bit. The torque that can be achieved is simply amazing. Keep up the great videos sir.
These beautiful screw drivers are AMAZING Neal!!! I would just love to work with you making some tools and one day I KNOW I will be set up just like you are so I can do the same as you. You are my inspiration and favorite TH-camr! I always watch your videos and I love your content!!! Thank you again for sharing this with us all. I can’t even say enough to describe just how much I enjoy your videos! Thank you again and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day sir! One love!
Thank you for another great video demonstration. I read an article on woodworking a few months ago, and I was surprised as what it said about sanding wood. It says that there's no reason to use finer sandpaper than 220 grit. It explains that even then, you're making such fine dust particles that they are filling the pores in the wood. This is not the best especially if you're going to use varnish or oil to finish the surface, because it doesn't allow the medium to soak into the wood properly. Basically it recommends to not use finer than like 180 grit, add the finish, and then sand the finish between coats to get the ultra smooth & shiny finish. I thought that was something interesting you might enjoy. I have still been using 220, but not anything finer.
I use a screwdriver bit in a brace for large brass and monel screws in boatbuilding. The brace and bit belonged to my grandfather and was used by my dad as well. Both were boatbuilders, too. The screwdriver bit has the same end to fit the brace jaws as a brace type drill bit. Not a modern hex rendition. It must be 100 years old at least!
Hi , made a screwy like these 60 years ago as apprentice. Used Mild steel for blade just case hardened the end, bit of old scrap pallet wood for handle. Still got it hahaha.
Super fantastic video, I'm always fascinated by your work Neil and these two screw drivers are things of sheer beauty. The water cutter is amazing and I couldn't believe how easy it cut through hardened metal the way it showed. Awesome video as always.
Semi flat handles, fuller grip. Nice. I was thinking to drill the holes for the tangs, then put the ferrals, but I didn't think about burning them in, much better than I thought. As always a great project
Nice to see you working on easier projects again, I personally enjoy them a little more. Had a good laugh at 6:16 as you put the file on the SD card. Was that pun intended?
Amazed by your handywork as always, but I really want to comment on the beautiful grain in that wood! It really was worth keeping that piece for so long, it fits this project so well!
La traduzione automatica in italiano è molto buona. Si capisce tutto ed ha sincronia con le immagini. Il lavoro sul giravite poi è spettacolare. Davvero un buon lavoro. Bravo.
The idea of a water jet cutter has always amazed me, and I work in an indistry that uses them. Its astonishing and horrifying that water can be that precise and devastatingly powerful.
Really nice job , one thing I would have say though is raw linseed penetrates better than boiled because the additives in boiled linseed create a film that prevents additional coats from penetrating the timber, so for tool handles a couple of coats of raw followed by a top coat of boiled gives a more durable & nourishing finish,. been doing on all my axes for decades since an old bushie proved it to me ❤
I spent my working years working on Danish sand mold machines. They had a slide plate that varied in size according to the machine model. They were app. 600m to 800m wide and app. 2m long. On the backside were hammer marks used to flatten the pmate before the ground and polished finish. I wasn't expecting to see you use the technique on a screwdriver. Nice job.
They look great. The water jet will be a game changer. Everyone loves to guess the wood. My mate brought me some wood from somewhere around Dubbo he said is she-oak. It looks just like what you used here before and after you applied finish. Add it to the "maybe" list?
Yeah, the Wazer is going to be super handy. The wood is definitely she-oak but it's a variant of it, either Hairy Oak or Buloke. I think it is Hairy Oak. :)
The only thing I would add is when grinding the tips, use a hollow grind instead of a chisel grind. The screw driver will have less of a tendency to torque out of the slot and lessen the chance of damaging the screw heads.
I needed a large screwdriver for the project I'm working on. My biggest one was nowhere near the size needed. I couldn't find one anywhere locally and thought it would be a cool little project. I thoroughly enjoyed it and reckon they look awesome. :)

They look great. Traditionally a turn screw would be hollow ground rather than flat ground. It helps the driver to grip the screw and cam out less.
@@davidrees4063 not in boating. They were always flat....
I did think about it but was happy enough with the bevels. :)

Absolute amazing skills! It is a pleasure to see you working Sir. Greetings from The Netherlands
I have several of these Cabinet / Piano screwdrivers including a couple of big ones and they are LOVELY to use.
Semi flat handles, fuller grip. Nice. I was thinking to drill the holes for the tangs, then put the ferrals, but I didn't think about burning them in, much better than I thought. As always a great project
They''re 'just' screwdrivers. Those are fantastic, custom, heriloom tools!
Just noticed I’m not subscribed even though I’ve been watching almost every video for years now. Fixed. Amazing work, always a pleasure to watch.
Oh great, another project for my every growing list

The only thing I would add is when grinding the tips, use a hollow grind instead of a chisel grind. The screw driver will have less of a tendency to torque out of the slot and lessen the chance of damaging the screw heads.
turned out really nice, could likely do with a bit of a bevel on the corners to stop it gouging the screw seats.
Great film. Super build. Mahalo for sharing! ❤
