Don't chisel either. I've got a band aid on the palm of my hand to prove it. I made one of those drivers out of a spade bit. If it was anywhere as pretty as yours, I'd post a picture, but its not, so i won't. Pretty nice and it matches that beautiful saw.

Very nice, I just bought a hex insert version from Tools for Working wood. I like your's much better.

Ouch Don! Chisels make a mess of flesh. Don't ask me how I know.

This was my 'that will do for now one'. Recently, I've been thinking about building a saw till and I want it to house my saw sharpening stuff also and this old screwdriver just wasn't going to look good enough alongside all my nice saws. Also, it was too long. You need to get in close to avoid camming out of the slot.

Wayne - If you turned a nice handle with a brass ferrule and epoxied the TFWW driver into it, it would look the business.

I would think so. Or I could make something simliar to what you made. That or go with a LN driver when I get serious about saws… LOL… Too many choices.

Oh, one more idea would be to get a Home Depot hex driver and turn a cabinet style handle for it.

Or you could buy this from LN and use it for other bits as well as your TFWW driver.

Mind you, you've probably already got all those bits and IMHO, $60 is a bit steep. You could just buy a holder and make your own handle. Something like these:

I've actually seen people take a plastic handled driver, knock the handle off and turn a nice handle. It would come out similar to the LN driver in style. The brass ferrel is a nice touch. From a bit perspective, I' looking for a small sweep (6") brace to use as a driver similar to one I saw in one of your posts a while back. The two could share bits and find a home in the tool cabinet.

I was wondering if you'd found a small brace yet. I don't want to rub it in, but I have just bought another three braces. Two 8" sweeps and a gorgeous 6" sweep, which I spent the day cleaning yesterday. Then I rubbed the wood down and so far I've got two coats of BLO on it. It will probably need another 3 coats, but that will have to wait until Friday as I'm off to Denmark again in the morning. Here's a preview:

I saw the exact model of 6" brace on the UK ebay a week or two ago and decidied I did not want to pay the buy it now price and high shipping/handeling. My main issue is with the broken leg, I not able to get out to the local flea markets. There are a couple of them in the area that have lots of braces. I've checked a few antique stores, but not run across one yet. I also saw a US military ordinance version on ebay that was priced pretty high $60. I liked the looks of it but think I can get one for a much better price.

$60 is too high. It would have to be in near perfect condition for me to consider paying that. I'll let you know if I see a good one Wayne. I don't need any more now.

That's a good price Dennis. It should clean up beautifully. If you are going to take the metal bung off the end to clean the metal, here's a tip for you:

Remove the 3 screws (some braces only have 2), then if the bung doesn't pull off easily, try unscrewing it as some of them are screwed onto the metal with the female thread being in the wooden bung itself.

Nice stuff.
Love that screwdriver, it is way more elegant than the alternatives.
I have one for my brace this is also a alternative.
Love the fretsaw dennis.
Best thoughts,

Wow, this thread is loaded with win! I love the 6"'r, the mod'd driver (very pretty), and Dennis' fret. I feel like I got left behind this weekend, fighting with my stupid jointer.
