    I just rehandled two of these last week! Those handles smell like a pork rind spill in a tackle box full of skunks! My handle of choice was former ash shovel handle, and a 20ga high brass head for a ferrule.

    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.

    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

    I have a screw driver just like that and i nearly trash canned it, but, I like my tools, so I took the handle off and canned it, was looking at using a piece of Purple Heart, I salvaged from a trash can that a friend of mine, and make a new handle combined with some brass, I think that would look quite smart. Thanks for the video, I appreciate your time.

    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.😀

  • @MrGsteele
    @MrGsteele 3 місяці тому

    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!

    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.

      @@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.

    You’re becoming quite good at making things with the mini lathe. That was an excellent handle.
    Do you think you’ll ever get a larger lathe?
    Again great job! 👍

    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 9 місяців тому

      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.

    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.

    Nice job. Why didn’t you remove the wings and replace them with a steel drilled in from the side?
    BTW, you should make a video of the stuff Chuck has been making with his toolkit. Has he made his own workbench yet?

    • @357magdad

      Handles susceptible to the mange will always keep breaking down. You can clean the funk off but they'll deteriorate more. The plastic just wasn't made right.

    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.

Hey the little Pepe la Pue stubby Screwdriver got a new life and looking good and smelling like Hai Karate Looks like the Little Lathe came in handy again as for the shell casing contact Scott from Kentucky Balistics see if you can get a shell casing from a 4 Bore Rifle that would make a interesting video ...

    I had a few of those stank drivers I threw away because my coworkers would cuss me every time I opened my box. 😂 They were craftsman screwdrivers from the 70’s era. They worked great but that smell was atrocious. My fellow workers called them crapsman screwdrivers. 😂
