    Using the empty case was genius. A work of art. Maybe it IS worth the effort to save the tools left to me by my dear late father.

    Very well done on the handle. A terrific transformation and now your 3 favourite materials wood, brass and steel.

    It was my Birthday a few days ago and my eldest son asked me what I wanted ? After watching your excellent posts about the mini lathe I said I'd like one, the upshot is, my lathe arrives either tomorrow or Saturday ! Like yourself, I've some old chisels that I'll have to modify for the time being, until I can get some proper mini lathe tools. The lathe will help me turn fishing float (bobber) bodies in just a minute or two instead of the half hour that they take me at present. Thankyou so much for your exceptional videos M D. ✌❤ Bob.

    Nice project. My only observation is that now you need to go out and buy another stubby screwdriver for use in tight places! The new handle is long, but that's not what the original driver was for!
    I love the little lathe - years ago, I bought a cheapo wood lathe from an outfit that sold very inexpensive tools in magazine ads - I've long since forgotten the name - and bolted it to a lathe bench I made out of (back then) cheap but dry, 2x4s cross-bolted and glued together - that I had a local woodworking shop run through a thickness planer, then built sturdy legs to bolt it to.
    I added a motor, v belt, and some wiring and knife switches, and redid the baluster spindles on an old Victorian's porch - our house in Providence - to replace the 70 year old original spindles that had been disintegrating from acid car exhaust. I made the new ones out of 4x4 redwood (!) in the hopes they'd last longer, taking the profile from the originals.
    Redwood is tricky to turn, because the wood is fibrous, and the chisels will dig in and pop divots out, ruining the work. I profiled the block every 1/2 inch with a hacksaw so that a pull-out would be limited in effect, and then did the finish contour with rasps and files.
    Your mini-lathe brought back many happy memories of turning out wooden artwork down in our cellar those many years ago. Thanks for the video!

    I Dig your Restos! ... But CAUSION! Way back in High School. (55 years ago). Dad acquired an accedline / oxygen torch - it quickly became my favorite tool since I had used one in Shop Class. Dad had recently had a new garage built. When torching or welding too close to the new concrete floor, I learned how easily concrete can explode around heat. Luckily I still have both eyes as I accidently blew sizeable chunks of concrete airborne! MAGDAD...Watch how you heat things up OR WEAR some goggles ! ! ! ...Newk from Kentucky

    Wow. Mrs. Magdad was right on when she got you the mini lathe. It's a great addition to the shop and very capable. Your lathe work is very instructive, and the screwdriver turned out very nicely. The handle on the stinky screwdriver looks too small to apply much torque. The cherry handle is much more practical and looks infinitely better. Great job all the way around.😀

    I remember the first time I experienced the smell that comes off old plastic handled screwdrivers. Back in the 70's I took a job at an old garage as a mechanic. The shop had one of those big old Sun diagnostic machines unused against a back wall. One day, I did some exploring and opened a drawer on that machine ... and immediately thought ... "Who the HELL puked in this drawer???" It was one of those white powderey coated screwdrivers.

      @@357magdad to drill brass it helps to brass the bit off. Which basically means knock the sharp edges off of it. You just stone the sharp edges off. That gives the bit a negative rake and makes the bit drill instead of grabbing in the soft metal. Look it up, it's a real thing. Drilling brass with a standard twist drill can be terrifying. A sharp bit will self feed into brass. A brassed bit is sharp, but sharp different.

    That yellow handled screwdriver, at the beginning of the video , in the tray , on the left... I have one identical . I found it 35 years ago on the side of the highway. Every brother and cousin I've got has borrowed it and left it out in the rain , used it as a prybar and a chisel. Somehow it always made it's way back to me ( even though they all acknowledged it's usefulness and admired it) . It looks like hell, but can still take a screw out.

    A fantastic result mate. The wood and brass handle sure look better than the crappy plastic one. Funnily I have never come across a stinky, cheesy handle like you seem to get in the US. Mostly, our handles loosen and fall off from the heat.😂

      Thanks Shedman! You're lucky the smelly plastic formula never made it "down under"!

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred 7 месяцев назад

      The smell is caused by the acetate breaking down. That releases butyric acid. If there's a way to fix it I've never heard of it. But I have heard some that claim they know how to fix it. I think it is a manufacturing defect when the plastic was made though. There's a lot of misinformation surrounding the topic.

    Great job on a new handle! The old handle really must have stunk after heating the blade. Was the cartridge used or you took apart a new bullet?

    That looks great Magdad. I picked up 5 brand new 6" Nicholson bastard files at the Habitat For Humanity restore for .80 each and I'm planning to use my mini lathe to make some handles. I really like the honey dipper design also and I'm thinking about trying to replicate all the handles exactly the same......wish me luck 😂

    Out gassing from the old 1950's plastics.
    Smells like a combo of blu cheese and 3 day old feet.
    I have had limited success with scraping the handles with an exacto knife [ outdoors]
    Then spraying with a clear acrylic sealer.
