This was my first go at woodturning

It was made on paulm's super-duper lathe

And this is the second one I made

I really like them and use them all the time.

Cheers :wink:

some nice examples there, heres my 2 sadly neither are hand crafted by me but both nice in there own way

the first one is a stanley "HURWOOD" cost me a fiver but i love it its the perfect plane screwdriver and i use it alot

the nice thing about it, it has a metal strike cap fitted not that i ever want to strike it but its cool.

when ever i saw these or ebay i always thought they where abit of a gimmick until i saw this one at a booty for 50p, a really clean example of Yankee lookalike its fantastic just need to get some more bits for it

keep them coming guys

Try to get an adaptor for it and you can then use any hex screwdriver bits

The Philips screwdrivers were made up from parts from LV ..

Don't forget to hollow grind the flat blade drivers ..

Multipurpose screwdrivers can be made from quick-change drill holders (not the magnetic type, where bits can fall out) ..

Stanley handplane levercap screwdriver made from an old turnscrew ..

Turnscrews are also good for split-nut drivers ..

.. and don't forget that small braces not only drill pilot holes, but make damn good drivers as well ..

Nice shapes those Malcolm. I have a few vintage ones...the really large tipped ones that are great for "engineering" work.

I had a look at your work too...simply love the jewellery box mate...lovely piece.
