30+ years on the lathe for me and I will summarize some ideas for you: no long sleeves as others have said, turn at the highest speed you can for better cuts. Learn to sharpen your gouges ASAP! There are many good videos on that! Good work and quite brave for a novice! Be pleased with your outcome!
Hey . Just a safety tip . Don't hang your arm over the chuck while its spinning ? You'll get sucked under and it will happen so fast you won't know what to do as it strangulates your arm and breaks bones ...i see a bunch of people have said this too but of All safety tips , this is #1...
Congratulations on the "new toy"....you did an excellent job, as always. The safety tips cannot be understated regarding a face mask, eye protection, no long sleeves, ear protection, and a ventilation system in addition to your breathing mask. We want the tiny workshop to be with us for a very long time. Best to you and stay healthy,
great job on the handle , i have a few of these screwdrivers and they are fantastic to use in the workshop , i find that you can get more torque from these than most modern ones. Congrats on the lathe, its one handy tool you won't regret buying.
great job! but you have to be carefull when using lathe. watch out your sleeve! don't use with long saggy sleeve and avoid to put your arm, hand whatever avobe chuck when operating. see you next video :)
Another safety suggestion; don't change cutting direction in the middle of a pass, like you do numerous times starting at 5:00. That's how you end up with a gouge embedded in your arm (or worse). One way only per pass.
Very well done, the handle was the best part. I was a little concerned with the turning of it but I learned something, I subbed. looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! A restoration channel with great results that allows me to think " I could do that" rather than thinking I'd need a budget of thousands just to buy the equipment!
I picked up an old woodcock screwdriver 1902 the other day battered to death with a split handle but decided to glue it up as it's just going to be a wall hanger. Very nice job on the handle especially as it's your second go - well done!
had one just like it flat blade ,handle and brass ferrule. picked it up about 50 years ago in the same condition as yours, used it until it was destroyed, wish i still had it it was a good screwdriver, lots of torque
Great job ,I also was hoping that you would leave the original handle but you did an awesome job on the new one and brought back a tool from the grave, keep up the great work 👍
Beautiful work MTW! Very well done Sir! Those old wide-blade screwdrivers are esential when you're working on older tools as the newer screwdriver bits are never wide enough. There's a special name for that flat shape of handle... can't remember what it is though (gettin' old, see?) ... I think it's name of a London borough or something... keep up the geat work. Greetings from Southport.
Thank you. I totally agree. Iv just started using these old screwdriver. I always struggle with the modern ones. I only work with old tools so it makes sense to have old screwdrivers. I have a lot of money invested into my whole set (£2).
Over the years of antique tool collecting and restoring I have built a full set of those pattern screwdrivers. Hardly ever use them in day to day stuff as I rarely use slotted screws except in restored furniture that calls for slotted screws. But they do look nice on the tool rack! Except for cleaning up the dull tips I haven’t needed to do any work except oil the handles. I kept all the patina just as they were.
Great restoration. Most people would have consigned that screwdriver to the scrap bin when they saw the rust and split handle. Looks like the flat handle allows the user to use greater torque. Thank you for giving that screwdriver decades of new life. Regards from USA
I’m not experienced with the technique of hardening steel properly. If I get it wrong there is the chance of me making a brittle screwdriver therefore I decided to leave it original.
Loved what you did with the blade and your skill at making a new handle but wish you had tried to salvage the original handle and it’s patina. From the video it looked restorable.
Thanks. There is always a way to restore the old. This one was split in half and held together with a bolt. I purposely bought it just to make a handle.

Thank you everyone for all the tips on safety. Keep the comments coming, I’m learning a lot.
great job :)
Another good one.
Great job. The handle turned out beautiful
Thank you
Blade cleaned up nicely and I like the new oak handle but would have preferred saving the old one. Nice work.
Thanks for watching
I’m old, so I would have kept the old handle for nostalgia. A piece of history. On the positive side it’s impressive he can whip one up if needed.
Better than new….🔧⛏️🔨⚙️🔩🛠️👍

Thank you very much. I’ll continue learning.
There is a very good instructor for all things turning at Turn a Wood Bowl site on UA-cam. I learn so much every time I watch on of his videos.
One of these days those sleeves are going to get caught in the chuck
Thanks for the warning

Thank you. I always wear a mask and eye protection. I need to pay attention to the other dangers.
Nuce, but im not so sure the handle was beyond repair
It was split in half and held together by a bolt. I should have shown that parts. Also I only bought it to make a new handle.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 Was wondering if the bolt was original or added to hold the handle together. Thank you for explaining.
It didn't look that good circa 1910 when it was brought
Thank you
Who else was going “leave it there” at 2:25
If you want to keep your plastic mallets for a while, don't hammer in small metal objects with it. Nice resto though.
Thanks. I’d rather sacrifice the mallet than risk scratching the tool.
Excellent job with the handel.
After only two times you use the lathe, you made a beautiful handel.
Well done!!
Thank you
Keep your sleeves away from that chuck, find a better stance for parting off
Thanks you
What was the purpose of the hole in the thick end of the original handle and why didn't you reproduce it in the restoration?
There was a bolt in the hole holding the 2 broken pieces together.
Duude! Up with your sleeves when working on the lathe! Don't get hurt!
Thanks. Iv learnt now,
Great job!Maybe you should burn the wood to looks like japan style.
Thanks. That’s a good idea
Very nice work. Think that handle was savable though
I wanted to make a new one. Only reason I bought the screwdriver
great job on the handle , i have a few of these screwdrivers and they are fantastic to use in the workshop , i find that you can get more torque from these than most modern ones. Congrats on the lathe, its one handy tool you won't regret buying.
Thank you. You are so right. This is why iv started using them. The torque is so much better.
There was a hole on the side of old handle. What was for it?
Could it be better if you sand more and by high numbered sandpapers?
There was a bolt in that hole holding the 2 broken pieces together. I kept it there to help me replicate the shape
Great job, and you did good on the lathe considering it was only your second time on it. 👍👍👍
Thank you. Luckily I didn’t need to use my backup piece of oak.
This is a London Turnscrew from approximately the 1940's. Nice restoration, they are great looking and a joy to use.
I was looking for a turnscrew comment. That's what I've always heard these called. I have a couple, but this one is far larger than any I own.
great job! but you have to be carefull when using lathe. watch out your sleeve! don't use with long saggy sleeve and avoid to put your arm, hand whatever avobe chuck when operating. see you next video :)

Long sleeves on a lathe… that´s dangerous.
Very well done, the handle was the best part. I was a little concerned with the turning of it but I learned something, I subbed. looking forward to your next video.
Really impressed with how that turned out, and I like the lathe! Keep them coming
Thank you

Thank you. A lot can be done with minimal equipment.
Fantastic job looks and works fine thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember#stay safe and make thanks again 🍺🍺👍👍😷
Thank you
What was old, is brand new again. Great job, MTW!!
Thank you
That thing is badass! I want one!
Thank you
That's a chonky screwdriver :D
Thanks for watching
The copper pin was a nice touch.
Thank you
Extremely well done, man. A most magnificent screwdriver!
Lovely restoration but I’m now a nervous wreck watching your sleeve by that chuck. Roll it up, please.
I picked up an old woodcock screwdriver 1902 the other day battered to death with a split handle but decided to glue it up as it's just going to be a wall hanger. Very nice job on the handle especially as it's your second go - well done!
I enjoyed most of it except for the sandblaster. Just a pet peeve of mine I guess. I hate the finish left by them.
20 pounds for that? Your source is ripping you off.
20 pence.
It was 20 pence.
had one just like it flat blade ,handle and brass ferrule. picked it up about 50 years ago in the same condition as yours, used it until it was destroyed, wish i still had it it was a good screwdriver, lots of torque
Well done and nice result! It's a pity that those screwdrivers are a curiosity these days...like these vid's. continue ;-))
Thank you. I have just started using these old screwdrivers. They are so much better than anything new.
Nice job! Beaut process, care and results!
Thank you
nice now just a small matter of making your racks hole a tiny bit bigger so the collar fits perfect and hangs better👍
Everything is a work in progress. I just slapped this rack together to get the screwdrivers off the table.
Bro multiple wooden stacked washer is best
How much pressure do you use for your sandblaster
Between 60-100
@@mytinyworkshop1213 psi?
Bargain price. Where did you buy it?
Nice job, and extra plus for no music. thanks
Safety first! No long sleeves close to moving machinery.
Amazing job, keep it up 👍😀
Good job. Well done 👍
Thank you
Turn out really nice !! All your restorations are superb ! Congrats !
Thank you very much.
Fantastic job!
Thank you
Excellent job!
Thank you
I just love your bench grinder!!
Before seeing the video title, i thought it was a vintage car wheel tire lever.
Thanks for watching
Nice work!
Thank you
Great job ,I also was hoping that you would leave the original handle but you did an awesome job on the new one and brought back a tool from the grave, keep up the great work 👍
Thank you. I deliberately bought this to make a handle. Initially I was going to carve it. However I managed to stumble across a cheap lathe.
Gr8 job bro. Wise of you to change the handle. But i waa disappointed when u used linseed oil. I prefer staining the wood, then shellac layer.
Thank you
Nice work my friend,and many many projects on your new toy !!!
Thank you
Good Job 😊 .
Thank you
A beautiful job. My best compliments, and still look at your safety. Bravo. Ciao from Rome, Italy
Thank you
Nice video
Thank you
Very nice.
Thank you
Very nice refurbishing project. Should be many many decades of usable life left in that now. Thumbs Up.
Thanks you.
Beautiful
Thank you
Very nicely done old son. Nice new toy too, I'm jealous. I'm sure you'll get the hang of which way to turn the chuck key before too long. :D
Yep. I’ll eventually learn
Good for another 60-80 years....
I notice that you kept the screwdriver (great job by the way) but what about everything else ? Do you sell the items on ?
I keep everything that I restore.
You'd think the tine would be longer
Great job.. I love your new toy! I want one now. 😊👍 I would make a new handle to ✌️it look Awesome mate
Thank you. I never realise how fun it would be to have a lathe. If you have the opportunity definitely get one.
I don't think I've ever seen one of those. It looks great!
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you

Thats Huge Screw Driver!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My largest screwdriver is the length of my arm.
Nice job I have never seen a screwdriver with that shape of a handle. Good price on the lathe, Good Luck...
Thanks, best purchase by far

I think it was easier with your new toy that on the drill press Come a long way!!
Thank you. The drill press has served me well. But it’s time for bigger and better things.
That was a delightful job what a transformation well done mate :-)
Thank you very much.

Awesome restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ready for many more years service! Great video and looking forward to more lathe work! Well done, dude! 🤘
Thank you
Well done, for the second time use the machine great job👍👏
Thank you
Nice work, man! I've never used a lathe before and I'm sure it would take me 10 or 100 tries to get that handle right. Bravo!
Thanks. I was so confused at first. But eventually a handle came out of the wood.
brilliant restoration , you make it look simple to do but I am sure it is not so , well done and well presented
Thank you
Would there of been any advantage to heating and quench-hardening the tip of the blade?
I’m not experienced with the technique of hardening steel properly. If I get it wrong there is the chance of me making a brittle screwdriver therefore I decided to leave it original.
Nicely done and obviously a positive addition to your collection of old screwdrivers. Love the new handle.
Thank you
Beautiful restoration
What a great finish, and what a fantastic piece of metal that is.
Thank you
Superb work! Does this particular screwdriver have a specific use or is it just the style?
This was the style many years ago. I wouldn’t know if it was designed for a specific use.
great job, even on the lathe
Great job. Never would have guessed you only used lathe once before
Thank you. My lack of safety is a tell tell sign of my lack of experience. Glad you liked it

@@mytinyworkshop1213 thanks for the clarification.
Where is the old patina gone? Looks brandnew🤔
No patina left on this one.
I have one of these ,but the blade is not pinned and I have a second narrower blade that can be swapped in the same handle.
Thanks for watching
I used to have Marples tools. A short cramped screwdriver.
Thanks for watching
Great job. Restoring old tools to that level must be a HOOT.
Thank you
Very Goooooooood~~!!!!!
great job, prof! liked everything about it!
Thank you
I thought you did a fantastic job matey. 👍

Man your just too good that's ready for another fifty years of work 👌
Thank you very much.
