I’ve just made a new set of handles for my old No.4…this is looking like my next plane-related project. I saw a version of a cap iron (chip breaker) screwdriver that was made from an old door knob. This looks like a much better option…thanks for sharing your work.
The correct name is Forstner bit, even if it is sometimes referred to colloquially as a knothole bit (drilling out knotholes) or occasionally as a pot drill (installing pot hinges). The correct name of the tool, which is mostly used for wood, comes from its American inventor, Benjamin Forstner, who was an American gunsmith and inventor. Forstner's most famous invention was the Forstner drill named after him, which he patented in 1886.
Happened to find your channel by accident and I saved this video for last as I binged. Thank you for this and other ideas. Subscribed for sure and will be awaiting the next video.
Friggin" brilliant and beautiful! What a great idea. Thank you for the video. This is one of two of your videos i just watched and I loved them both. I subscribed. Thanks again.
Fun. The only video I have found making drivers and very detailed instruction. Thank you.

I will definitely be making one! Thank you for walking us through the build… nostalgic and functional. ❤
Send me pics of it when you get it done, I’d love to see it.
@@DaveCorinth his will be pure rosewood :p
That's a great idea! I never thought about using an old knob for this.
I hadn’t until a few weeks ago.

I think I spelled it correctly, if I didn’t I apologize.
@@DaveCorinth You did. I only wanted to ad some facts to this tool.
Nice.
Great video! I really want to make one of these now.
It’s surprisingly easy to make. Even if you don’t have a lathe or vertical mill. And they are a blast to make.

I thank you for watching, I’m going to put out 2 videos a week.
very nice job, might I suggest using a contrasting dowel if a barrel nut isn't available?
That’s a good idea, never thought of that. Thanks, maybe a maple dowel.
Nice job!!! I have a Veritas version but yours is every bit as good. I'll make one for my Son.
Cool video, I currently don't own any lathes so cant build one but really need one, do u sell em ?If so how much? thanx

What is your ratio of Red Mahogany to Walnut Special Blend? 1:1 or something other?
It’s about 2:1 with Red Mahogany the 2 parts.
Is that what they call a French polish finish?
No it’s just lacquer, I believe French polish is Shellac built up in thin layers with denatured alcohol.
Do you sell them? I would buy one as I don't have time to make one.
I am making a run of these from Rosewood. Michael Jenks @Just Plane Fun, will have these available to purchase. It will be in early March.
