Beautiful screwdriver.

Great looking screwdriver! Nice job.

I like the way the wood combinations go together, nice job.

-- Andy Stark

Pretty cool and very pretty.

Very nice. You can do this without a kit. Use copper water pipe connectors cut in half in either 1/2” or 3/4”. Use short shank magnetic bit holder for the business end. It looks like you have the rest down very well. Nicely done. What is your finish of choice?

-- Phil, Near San Diego, CA

Excellent!

-- Maplewood, MN

Very cool! Love how you laminated it for contrast.

That wold have to be reserved for clean projects – no dirty work for such a pretty screwdriver.

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

To nice for just a tool.

Nice job on the driver. Was the wood part of the kit or just the hardware? If not, How did you do the glue-up of the blank?

-- Chris

This piece is sold Debbie. I’m finishing a nice one in ebony and white oak- very contrasty.
Chris, The kits come without wood. I stacked padauk and oak in 2” strips, then cut the whole thing down the middle, adding a perpendicular strip of oak. Then I added perpendicular oak to the outsides, trimming as I go to keep the blank square.

-- Jeff, Santa Fe

That’s cool netized.

Are you selling these at shows? Can I ask how you price them?

-- johnjoiner

Thank you John- I have been fortunate to be able to stay busy with furniture and the crafts by word of mouth. I price according to the cost of the wood and the time it takes to make the pieces. These screwdrivers sell for about $25-$45. I am in the process of starting a website, but it will have to wait until we complete a move to Santa Fe. I’m wearing my home renovator hat right now.

-- Jeff, Santa Fe

Nicest screwdriver I have ever seen.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.
