This week I will be doing a turning demo for our club. My demo will be to make an awl and a turned screwdriver handle for a 6 way screw driver. The awl has a walnut handle, brass ferrule and the awl is O1 drill rod, overall length 6.5”. The srewdriver had a cherry handle. The screw driver was a plastic handled screwdriver that I broke apart to get the sleeve and chuck out of to make this project. While I was in the shop I had a file that needed a handle – made out of white oak with a copper ferrule. These were fun projects to do.

Well done my friend… There is a lot of satisfactisfaction from making your own tools and your handles look marvelous!! When your tools look this good you take care of them a little better. (At least I do).
