Dude d'ya know how mnay ppl would be interested in those tools f u could make enough to sell?? This is a stunning screwdriver.. I love how it changes out from flathead to phillips
Ur bench top has seen better days bro.. LOL That just means it's had a tonne of work done on it I guess.. I'm only joking btw mate. This is a really sweet screwdriver btw..
@Make or Mend That's good ,perhaps mention in another video just to discourage others ,I've seen a nasty drill press accident involving gloves ,and a wedding band ,stripped the skin right off the finger, broke two fingers and the wrist ,
The lathe is a “WM180V” which I bought second hand. It seems really solid and well-built for a small lathe although it is 15 years old (made in 2008) so I’m not sure if the new ones are still as good. For example the gears are steel but a lot of the new lathes have plastic gears. The motor is fine most of the time, but sometimes struggles with tougher materials or taking a large depth of cut.
Bought them off eBay since they were only a few £ and had a standard sized shank. I originally planned to make them myself but it would have been difficult to do the keys without a milling machine.
Thank you for the interest. Unfortunately I do not plan to sell them as it takes a long time to make by hand meaning it would not be cost effective unless I charged a lot for them.
I love how you allow the design and machining do all the talking. 👌👏👏👍😀
This is art and a lot more than a tool. If u sell I would buy. A hell of a lot better than what some people pay for painting as art.
Thank you, very kind
This is beautiful. I'm using this as both inspiration and reference for my own attempts to make my own set of screwdrivers in the upcoming months.
Glad it was helpful. Good luck with your own project!
Beautiful work! Awesome
Great idea, project, and video. Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment.
I enjoyed watching this.
Awesome job!
Wow. You gave me a great idea for a whip.
Nice build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Nicely done!

Beautiful
Very Nice !!!
Well done! May I recommend a faceplate to hold similar jobs? Easy DIY project.
Amazing! Any reason you decided to use loctite for the top ring instead of threading it?
Just for ease of manufacture really. If I were to make it again I would probably thread it so I can take it apart for maintenance.

The workbench is certainly well used… I like to think it adds “character”.
Any chance i could have the drawings for this?
I would love a copy of the drawings
Hello! Just saw the video, I was wondering if I could get the prints? I don’t mind paying for them or anything, thanks for your time!
Thanks for your comment, please get in touch with me via email “make.mend01@gmail.com” to discuss the prints.
Nicely made ,but please 🙏, don't wear gloves !
Cheers, don’t worry I took them off whenever the machine was running. Don’t normally wear them but it was a very cold day.

Excellent work! Do you sell these drawings?
Not currently, however if there is interest from people it’s something I will look into for the future.
Tell us about the lathe itself. And would you recommend? Thanks.

Beautiful work! Where did you source the screw driver blades that fit in the handle?

Do you have a blueprint available for this?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do you make these available to buy or plan on doing so? I'd happily commission you to make one for me
