This has to be one of your best restorations ever.... Absolutely outstanding!!!!
Wow! Thanks ScoutCrafter! When I spotted it at the flea market, I knew it would be a good project!
There’s not much to say except THAT WAS JUST AMAZING! What an incredible job you did!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Frank! When I saw the poor thing at the flea market, I knew it would make a good project!
Cleaned up great 👍 so much paint. Thanks for the tip with the heat shrink that's great. Beautiful end result, I love that handle.
Thanks! It was a fun project!
The Bombay Mahogany is a Nice Rich Color and it hides minor flaws too.
Bombay Mahogany might be my favorite - next to clear with sparkles!
That screwdriver looks like it lived in the back of the Scooby Doo Mystery Van. I am pretty sure Wilma and Daphne once fought a paint blob monster the same colors as your screwdriver. Wonderful restoration. Very informative on the various steps. I wish I was smart enough to remember everything you showed me.
Thanks! It was fun digging through the layers of paint!
That ferule sure looked feral, but you finally tamed it. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!
Makes sense it was from Jacktown…, because that thing was jacked up.
🤣
Thanks Larry!
Now it deserves the MagDad 357 brand. Excelent episode.
I wish I was better at engraving!
Sow’s ear to silk purse. Stunning transformation. We’ll done, MagDad!
Thanks Roy! When I saw it at the flea market, I knew it would be a good project!
Okay, you've got a new fan. Love you're laid back delivery. BTW-I commented a while back on your restoration of a 1/2 inch ratchet from back in the 70's. I mentioned that I had one exactly like it that had quit working for me. I took it apart and cleaned it up. Of course, the one part that you warned us not to lose I lost. The little ball bearing that holds the direction selector. Fortunately, we have a great Ace Hardware store here that has a good selection of various ball beatings, so I easily found a replacement. Bottom line, my ratchet handle now works like new. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks Kim! I'm glad you like my style! I'm also glad you got that ratchet wrench working. I have nightmares about losing a tiny part to an old tool on my shop floor! If you get a chance, send me an email! 357mdad@gmail.com
Good lord that's fantastic. Beautiful job. Love that Bombay Mahogany.
Thanks Ben! It was fun removing the layers of paint!
Came out awesome. I hope Chuck didn’t eat any of that paint. He seemed a little under the weather.
Thanks Doeboy! Chuck was tired. He's been working hard on his Batmobile!
That’s incredible Magdad! I bet the discerning diligent duchess would definitely decide to add that wooden handled screwdriver to her sparkle handled tool collection. 😃👍🏼
Thanks David!🤣 It would be cool to find a complete Diligent Duchess set!
Wow, that heat-shrink wrapped around the wire brush is a GREAT idea. I'll definitely try that in the future. Thank you.
Thanks Sean!
So that's where my old paint stirrer went. Nice fun project. Looks fantastic.
I was a fun project!
You bought that back from the dead!
I like the heat shrink idea on the small Dremel bit. Very ingenious.
Thanks! It was a fun project!
It went from lost cause, to show piece. Love the color of stain. Nice job.
Thanks Joe! I am always attracted to the "lost causes"!
Thats my favorite restoration , I bought Flitz and some buffing pads , I hope to polish a few of my plastic handles screwdrivers I've cleaned and wet sanded . Have a great Sunday .
Thanks Barry! I've had really good luck with 0000 steel wool followed by Flitz on plastic handles.
Fantastic clean up, shiny ferrell and shaft
Thanks David! The layers of paint did a good job protecting the metal.
That turned out beautiful. Well done! The heat shrink on the wire wheel is a great idea. I'll be using that idea for when I restore hand planes.
Thanks! The heat shrunk wire brush works good getting in around lettering and other tight spots!
Nice job. I've been selling paint for 35 years. That screwdriver looked like paint paddles we keep under the counter. They've been in hundreds of gallons of paint. Keep up the good work !!
Thanks Chris! The multiple layers of paint were impressive!
That certainly was a transformation from the ugly duckling to the beautiful Swan. Great job !
Thanks Ernie! It was a fun project!
Wow! Excellent. I hate getting those wires getting in my feet and hands. Will try the shrink wrap.
Sometimes I feel like a porcupine after using those little wire wheels!
Just wow. And that heat-shrink-on-the-Dremel-wire-brush is STILL a fabulous idea!
Thanks Mark!
That was a good one! I’d like to have a set of those with that finish on the handles! Just beautiful!
I've got a few more projects planned that should feature Bombay Mahogany!
WOW! I'm sorry, I'm blowing up your comments on this video, but that is an absolutely stupendous before and after. I withdraw every bit of advice, You are far more skilled than I. Congratulations, that is beautiful work
Thanks, I do appreciate the advice!
That was fun Bud!! Excellent job!! Every Body Shop I ever worked at had one of them, great multitool!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! It was fun digging that screwdriver out of its layers of paint!
That bombay mahogany looks really classy, I love it! Awesome job, as always. Thanks for sharing, take care!!
It's hard for me not to make every wood handle Bombay Mahogany!😁
I never realized how much sparkles improve the ability of a handle to be gripped.
Great job on turning the paint stirrer back into a screw driver. While I liked the way it turned out, all that really matters is that you like it and enjoyed the process.
Cleaning up old tools is fun!
A lovely result. Love the finish. I don't know about anybody else but I thought the paint on the handle gave it a lot of character.
Thanks! The Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorite finishes!
I have to say, this came out way better than I was expecting. The wood portion looks amazing. Thumbs Up!
Thanks Gary! It was a fun project!
Wow what a silk purse out of a sows ear. You are the best.
Thanks Gayle!
Ooh, I love the dark, red stain you used on the handle, reminds me of the original color on the rosewood handles of my grandpa's brace-n-bit!
Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
I'll have to get myself some for my tool-projects! Would probably look wonderful on some cherry-wood.
I really like the way the Handel turned out, as for the acid every one else that uses it leaves it on over night
Thanks John! I was worried about the acid attacking the ferrule if I left it on too long.
That blade looks nicer than most new tools 👍
Thanks Thomas! This was a fun project!
Awesome work. I like the “stain” lines in the raw wood. Gives it character.
Thanks Gary!
This was a true restoration🤣! I wouldn’t have touched it with a ten foot pole🤣. What a cool transformation, great work!👏🏻.
Thanks YDOC! I dig working on the basket cases!
You couldn't get that much paint on even if u tried 😁 ... love the outcome. Doesn't matter about the no brand, it's a Magdad special 👏👍👩🔧
The amount and variety of paint layers was impressive!
Turned out perfect. Better than new.
Thanks Rusty Gun!
Oh no you removed the paintina! 🤣That's a magnificent transformation!
Thanks Bill! "Paint-tina" I love it!
Wow, talk about night and day difference on the screwdriver. It now looks terrific. Well done.
Oxalic acid is a very mild acid. Sold in most hardware stores as "Wood bleach". In my local hardware store it is with the other wood finishes. It can lighten the wood, but as you observed, it does not have a big effect. I also use this to remove rust for large items where it would be too expensive to use Evapo-rust.
I was expecting the sparkled handle pokey things to be a future project with Mag Daughter. It cleaned up very well.
Dave.
TH-camr Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration often makes use of oxalic acid with great success.
I watch him!
I'm going to continue to experiment with the oxalic acid!
I collect tap and die sets, particularly color case hardened sets. The boxes are always in rough shape and covered in greasy thumb prints. For years, oxalic acid has been my go-to product. It's very inexpensive, and it seems to work as a degreaser as well as a wood bleach. One tip I wanted to offer, I have found that a small amount goes quite a long ways when UV light is used. I typically drench the box and then wrap in Saran wrap and put it in the sun. You have to check it every hour or two, bubbles form and you will need to rewrap the saran wrap to even it out. In general, on a 75-year-old box that has been in a machine shop that whole time, two treatments with the sun have been plenty to bring it up to restoration quality
For what it is worth, I have never neutralized the acid. It seems to seep in about 3/16 of an inch max and then peters out. It does not make the wood brittle and stringy. Some would get a little thinner in the cambric layers, but a later of oil seems to flatten it right out. I think the UV is the main factor in its effectiveness. I think you should give it another try, I have used it for years to great effect. Also, for what it is worth, it is quite mild. I wash my hands afterwards, but I don't feel the need to wear gloves
Awesome job turned out nice. I bet it was used as a paint stirrer.
Thanks WM3! I was amazed at the number of different colors I found on it!
That looked like a hell of a lot of work, but it sure did transform the screwdriver. Awesome job mate.
The layers of paint really put up a fight!
Wonderful restoration. I thought the easy way out would be to paint the handle and cover up those black stains. The finish you put on the handle is the perfect complement to this vintage screwdriver. It's beautiful. If it could talk that screwdriver would thank you for freeing it from all that suffocating paint.
That screwdriver stirred a lot of paint! It would be fun to meet its former owner.
Really admire your patience in getting all of that paint off. Great job! Well worth the effort.
Thanks Joe! It was fun discovering what was under all of the paint!
It fell in paint…like everyday. I like the heat shrink tip on the Dremel wire brush, thanks. Nice work.
Thanks Cory! The amount of paint on this poor thing was impressive!
Looks great Magdad! I was just talking to my girlfriend about how much more I have working on no name or really beat up tools. Much less worry about ruining it.
Thanks Alex! I'm always attracted to the basket cases!
I keep saying I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. You’re awesome.
Thank you! Make sure you tell your friends, family and coworkers about the channel😁
I dont know if I would have been brave enough to grab that crusty thing but you sure found the diamond in the rough on that one!
I'm always attracted to the basket cases!
Genius heat shrink trick. Nice job as always!
Thanks!
I can't get over how many layers of paint were on that thing! Great job bringing it back.
Thanks Chris! It was like an archeological dig!
The colour and finish on the handle are amazing.
Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
Love the shrink tube on the wire bit on the dremel!
It is handy for concentrating the bristles for cleaning around raised letters and indents like the ones on the ferrule.
Absolutely fantastic! You’re the best MagDad!
Thanks Wayne!
Oooh, Love that handle color!
Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
Holly Cow what a difference Batman!!! Stunning!
Thanks Stephen!
Very nice! You never know what is under all of that.
It was like an archeological dig!
Amazing result! That thing started out looking like one of my wife’s old painting pallets. Paint on paint on paint on paint.
I was amazed at the many layers of different color paint!
What a transformation on this one! Great work as always friend!
That Bet R Grip handle style looks identical to the older Proto Acetate handle screwdrivers!
Thanks Lila!
I think Proto made some of those sets for Neiman Marcus.
More of this please, you should record more of the processes a bit like the staining of the wood
Thanks for watching Peter! I used a soft brush to apply three coats of the Bombay Mahogany, buffing with super fine steel wool between each coat.
Got my wife to watch this restoration with me. Looks great!
Thanks Hal! I'm glad you both liked it!
That turned out amazing!!!
Thanks! It was a fun project!
That looks awesome Magdad. Love that Bombay mahogany stain. That looked like a fun project. You wouldn't know it was the same screwdriver.
It is fun working on the basket cases!
That turned out gorgeous!
Thanks Jeff!
Huge transformation ! Love the finished results!! Nice job!!
Thanks Bill! This was a fun project!
Absolutely gorgeous restoration! The handle is especially beautiful in that finish!
Thanks! The Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
Very timely video for me. I just found several old wooden handle screw drivers, cleaned them up and restored them. One was painted black like yours but the shaft ran all the way through the handle. Like yours there was no name and I could not get the black staining completely out of the wood around the Ferrell. I am going to get the stain remover to try on future projects. In this case the black stains actually turned into highlights when I stained it gunstock. Wish I could send you a picture, they turned out great.
I'd love to see photos of your projects! 357mdad@gmail.com!
That screwdriver is incredible, Magdad! It is a work of art. It belongs in the Smithsonian...or on your pegboard! I loved the pokey thing too. Great research on that.
Thanks Tom! It is too pretty to use now😁
Looks amazing. Great job.
Thanks!
Howdy Magdad. Have to compliment you on the narration style on this one. It sits well with the excellent job you did on the screwdriver.
Thanks Otto! I've been trying to mix in more "live Magdad" episodes.
Absolutely awesome restoration!
Thanks Steve!
I love wood handle screwdrivers and tyhe finish came out great on this one.
Thanks John! I love cleaning up old wood handle screwdrivers!
Wow looks great! That was a lot of paint! Thanks 😊 🙏
Thanks Mike! I lost track of all the colors I found!
Wow!!! Simply awesome and better than new! I like to shrink wrap trick. I’m going to use that one.
Thanks Steve! The heat shrink brush works good getting into raised letters too.
Holy cow! Unbelievable transformation.
Thanks! There was a nice screwdriver hiding under all that paint!
I'm here because of curiosity...I had to see...great viewing...
Thanks Uncle Black! You had to know what was under the paint, just like me!
Good job! Looks great.
Thanks Mr. Bandy!
I love the color of that handle!! GREAT Job!
Thanks Bill! Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
@@357magdad my thing is restoring antique instruments....I have a bench that I use with my pump organ that is that color. It's a real deep, rich color! Nice Choice for that handle!
Amazing transformation!!
Thanks Kent!
I'd sure buy it if I saw it in a store!!!! I think of all the finishes I've seen, this one is my favourite! I also love the shrink wrap idea!
Bombay Mahogany is one of my favorites!
Unbelievable...just unbelievable. You did a fantastic job.
Thanks Jason! When I saw this poor thing at the flea market, I knew it would be a good project!

Wow! Great job Magdad, although I may have been tempted to leave it as a paint stirrer! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks Phil! I keep a bucket of scrap wood cut-offs that I use for stirring paint.
Absolutely outstanding, great transformation.

Amazing transformation Magdad! Now I’m going to get a quart of that Bombay Mahogany stain! Beautiful handle. Super job on the Needless Markup tool too. It had to be expensive. 😄
Thanks Stan! Bombay Mahogany is a great color!
I cannot believe it is the same screwdriver! Thanks for sharing this.
It's almost too pretty to use now!
