Monday lunchtime live, handy tool that is easy to make

So I went to Yandles mainly to heckle Mark Becket as he was demonstrating to a club on site, but by coincidence another friend Bryan Milham was demonstrating in the shop.
So naturally I went early to catch a bit of Bryan's demo before Mark started. Bryan was using a tool that I have seen before, it is simple, cheap, easy to make and very useful.
So I figured I would share it with you, in case you have also seen and forgotten it.
No elaborate turning today but I will stretch the job out to make space for your Monday lunchtime chat with each other.
The demonstrator I Heckled:- mark.beckett.w...
The demonstrator I pinched the idea from:- weston-woodtur...
The chuck I used:- www.chronos.lt...
The shop that had the demo and club night:- www.yandles.co...
The sideline that may make me a billionaire:- woodturners.uk/ (needs 10 billion UK woodturners to sign up though)

Nice job Pete thanks for sharing

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Shane it is a good idea, so the more that know about it the better.

Very nice handle Pete. Make a great tool with the chuck pressed in. Well done.

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Thank you Doug, handle is a bit OTT for the job, but my most important customer is me so I may as well have a nice to hold oversize pin drill.

Nice handle Pete, and thanks for the mention
😊

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

You are welcome Andy, don't want people not watching as they are out of the habit on Tuesdays...

couldn't make it today pete but just watched the whole thing, a good tool to have as i have 2 of those chucks from previous drills i will make one

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

It is a handy additional tool, if you have 2 chucks try 2 handles, I am undecided if I should have gone for a shorter wider "palm" handle this one is sort of half and half and the aim was to get an inline grip with one finger behind to lock it or I can hold the ferrule between 2 fingers and rest the back against the pad at the base of my thumb for pressure. Will need to use it on various timbers to decide.

Thank you Wesley

Huh, I bet that's better to hold than the little hand drill. I have one and find it a bit tricky to keep hold of.

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

It is for me, cos it is made for my hand :-) I also have a small "pin drill" which is OK but only for holes of 1mm or below.
