Beautifully executed. Until about 6 months ago. I bought a couple of old ones in an antique shop and restored them and have been hooked ever since. So far i have restored 20 or more and just keep looking for more weekly! I don’t buy anything but old USA made drivers to restore myself. I dont see the imports as worth the effort. I go past the local Re-store about once a week which is where almost all of mine have come from. Some get a natural wood finish, while others that were originally painted get repainted. Very gratifying giving them a new lease on life. At the Re-store i pay about a quarter or 50 cents each for them. I had tons of great quality screwdrivers before starting this, but there is just something so different about these old wood drivers once restored. Plus, I have so little money invested in the whole pile that i have no regrets about my recent passion for restlring them. Thanks for sharing, well done sir.
Sounds like you have a great collection and yes, I would say "hooked" is the right word...I didn't much notice the wooden handle tools before, but now it is all I look for at estate sales, antique shops, etc. Most of these were $2 or lower (you might have noticed one of them has the price of "2" in black sharpie, before I sanded it down). But I need to come to your store and find the 50c ones!! :^) Thanks for watching.
I can relate to gorgeous-er, its like, more better only gooder !!🙄😏😜. All seriousness though, excellent restoration/ refurbishment. Like the process, thanks for video, enjoyed watching.
