It is so nice to see your restorations, where you don't use a 3D printer, Huge vertical mill, TiG welder, industrial metal lathe , laser engraver and CNC router! Simple, straight forward and achievable for a regular person. I'm going to be making my own marking knife, scratch awl and ruler stop, due to you! THANKS!

That was a beautiful restoration! Those handles fit so well! I think the one step I would have added is to epoxy the handles and the pins in place. New subscriber. I'm also a member of Vintage Tool Restoration. That's how I found this video to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, I’m glad you liked it. I wanted to avoid epoxy because I tend to use it too often and it sort of didn’t fit the ‘period of the tool’. But it would of course have been an option.

Pretty cool! I was out metal detecting in my backyard and found one of these screw drivers buried about a foot under ground. I figure it's about 1930s or 40s. So cool to see another one. Mine is untouched. I like antique to stay antique

Nice job, that came out great - I love these old screwdrivers and I've started to keep an eye out for some to restore

Beautiful Screwdriver ! love it !

I love this channel, minimal tools with precise execution! Keep up the great work

Add some tape and you can prevent chipout when drilling the holes for the pins.

Hey, just found your channel. And I got some tips for some projects of mine in the future. Best wishes from Germany

great job. recently restored a similar👍

Awesome! 👏👏👏

Nicely done all by hand I was wondering how you were going to find older rivets I've never used round stock like that.

Nice l liked it. I am having trouble making scales just keep trying. Thanks

Superb

Other restorations use brass pins and epoxy and buff it glossy. But this is a tool, not jewelry.

Yes, I like epoxy, but I don’t think it belongs in a 1930ies screwdriver.

I finally sub'd...for the quality peening! ;-P Nice work on the handles and appreciate the meditative sanding and hand work more than you realize. Just about done going through your vids and enjoying your progression on the quality of videography. L@@king forward to more.

Nice job, won't the oak turn black after a while? Being that it is in contact with the steel

Good point. I hope not!

I am currently restoring a perfect handle. I am wondering if I should heat treat the tip. I saw another video on YT where the individual in that video did choose to heat treat and temper the tip. I am wondering what others' opinions are on whether this should be done on a vintage screwdriver like this? Thanks

Hey, thanks for watching the video. I have also seen the hardening and tempering done in other videos. But I didn’t want to mess with mine, especially because I have no idea what alloy was used here. The correct heat treatment depends very much on the type of steel.

@@imadethischannel thank for reply! I felt the same way I decided to pass on the heat treatment for just this reason.

How come no epoxy this time?

Nice restoration, but not sure why wooden handles needed replacing. My eyesight isnt that great, but I saw no reason to make new ones when all that was needed appeared to be a good sanding and maybe a good wood filler.

@imadethischannel

Hey, the handles were cracked and chipped off in several places. Wood filler wouldn’t have been very nice.

I'll bet if epoxy existed back then, they would have used it. The perfect handled screwdriver got a bad rap, because the wood always loosened up.
