How to Make Wooden Screw Driver Handles.

[@AlynMurray]

That handle looks amazing. Anyone would be proud to receive them as a gift.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@CipsWoodChips]

Great project. My son-in-law found a plastic handle one in front of his new house and gave it to me. I think I will make a wood handle for it and give it back for Christmas. Thanks for the reminder.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Great Idea! Thanks!

[@budgillett9535]

Beautiful work and may God bless you as well.

[@omskariyazmaraikayer913]

Good Job Mr. Chris Pine. You are the clint east "wood' of woodworking . pun intended.

[@MRrwmac]

HELLO CHRIS!!!! Good to come across another of your videos and see you again buddy. A friend passed away and left me me a couple very old hand screws. Even though they have some rusty threads, they still work but need some handles. So I was looking around on KZbin and there you were in all your glory, showing us how... haha. Anyway, hope you and the family are all doing very well !! All my best wishes that everyone has some superb holidays together!!!

[@bodeine454]

OK, I really like this idea! Time to make a trip to Harbor Freight and get the wood lathe out!

[@fish37]

Great project and awesome gift idea! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@srvfan454]

Great job! There was a mangled abandoned Millers Falls screwdriver at my work that has been laying around forever. I brought it home today with plans of restoring it. Those look great!

[@alansimpson596]

Wow! Cocobolo is a really special wood for a screwdriver handle so someone is about to get a beautiful present. Lovely turning. Best wishes, Alan in Ireland.

[@donfillenworth1721]

Awesome idea for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+Don Fillenworth Thanks for watching!

[@brianwilliams4395]

those are beautiful handles. I just love using a lathe and making the shavings fly off of there, then sand it and applying the finish and seeing the grain just pop. man it gives me the warm and fuzzies just talking about. love your channel btw keep up the good work.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

brian williams You are very kind! Thanks!

[@CarlJacobson]

Great job Chris, love the Cocobolo wood.

[@PatrickSmithPhD]

Walnut is just gorgeous.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Patrick Smith Thanks yes one of my favorite woods to work with!

[@woodturningjohn]

Very cool, one of my next projects is going to be a set of chisel handles. You are going to make someone very happy at Christmas.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Awesome would love to see them! Thanks for watching!

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

Beautiful work! Love the handles! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@BigRonxxxx]

as always i really enjoyed not only the project but the video,and all that is involved,you seem to be a very genuine and likable guy,happy holidays to you and yours

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks Ron! I enjoy making the videos and the kind words from kind people like you! Chris

[@zazza75]

Really a beautiful present! Merry christmas

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@TheJoshdd214]

Super cool lil project!

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

John Doe Thanks!

[@MRrwmac]

Nice turning and choice of wood! They look "maaaaavelous" (SNL)! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Great job Chris, I gotta try this some time. It looks really fun and wood handled tools are classic and timeless, so much nicer than plastic. Regards, Bob

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks Bob! I agree so much nicer with wood

[@jimcoogan1529]

Great idea. I need to make a few of those and a few handles for some carbide tools I have. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@mfwoodshop]

Nice Job Chris, Those would be great Christmas gift, I may have to do that myself.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Mike. Would love to see how yours comes out! Chris

[@damasydia]

Great video...also seems like you really enjoy doing this thanks for sharing

[@rickfillion5666]

Actually the most important part of this video, or any handle video you skipped right over. The importance of drilling the center hole in the handle. When , how, why is the stuff sticking out of the end of the handle that appears to be something blue? People watching video's don't care to watch the turning nearly as much as understanding the process. If the center hole is not centered, of which you basically blew right by, it doesn't matter how well one turns. The shape isn't going to happen if the hole isn't centered, the handle secure on the lathe, how this all happened, could have been explained instead of cutting apart a old plastic handle to save the threaded insert. If the video is on turning a screw driver hole, the most important part is how and when to drill the hole, Mounting the piece before and after. Parting the handle of the lathe. The one who has never turned, won't get to turn, if this isn't explained. You missed the entire point of video.

[@ChuckMcGhee]

Great video Chris, I made one of these earlier this week and have several more to make.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

beautiful wood and shape

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+Trevor Dennis Thank you!

[@corpbullchet5582]

This is so awesome, i was just thinking, I have this nice set of screwdriver tips and was wondering if I couldn't make something to use them with a nice handle.

[@anaspk2]

nice work, and nice talk , happy Christmas and happy new year

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+Anas PK Thank you!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Great looking project Chris.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks Tommy!

[@jameslucas6589]

Very nice, I prefer wood handles to plastic for many reasons. One of the biggest is is ergonomics. You can fit it to your own hand. I prefer oval type handles for screwdrivers such as Marples makes. I do wish there was a source for brass ferrules. Pronounced ( fair-rels ). I have seen a web listing for wholesale but not retail. Nice job.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+James Lucas Thank you very much! I agree. I have not tried a multi axis turning for these handles to make it oval. That will come sometime in the future!

[@sharvishcheekhoory6148]

this is awesome! it is a pleasure watching you work! keep it up!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

These both came out great Chris! Cocobolo is such a beautiful wood!

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Yes I love it. I guess Some folks are deathly allergic to it when turning though. Have to be cautious.

[@dumbo800]

Chris Pine It is a strong irritant that becomes more severe with additional exposures. Eye and lung protection NEEDS to be used when working it. Most woods in the Dalbergia genus (the Rosewoods) require these precautions. Cocobolo is about the worst for this irritant effect.

[@kayibrhim6328]

It’s amazing art... I really need to learn how to make my own wooden handles for my crocheting hooks Because I really don’t like what they have in the market I wish if you can list the tools and everything I need to start doing that please I really like your work.. I would be happy if I heard back from you

[@ruhaniarora8381]

Very nice creation, great piece of hand made art.👌👌👌👌👌

Chris..., PARABÉNS, quanta habilidade e carinho! Adorei ver seu trabalho! Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@athiker7209]

I guess a lathe may be on my list of things to get. I have a drawer of rasps that need handles. Looks like the same approach would work for them as well.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

While I have never made handles for rasps or files yes it is basically the same. Add a ferule and make the hole for the chisel to fit in. As with most things there are very good videos on that as well out there. I seem to remember one nto too long back from oru community here. Thanks for watching! Chris

[@grunkybouy]

Hello, well, I don't have a lathe and zero skill so my question is, do you make these handles to sell or would you be willing to do that? Not a screwdriver but a handle similar to the one in this video only made to except a 1/2" ferro rod for fire starting? Thanks for your time.

[@BardTian]

Wao, it so nice. Can you share what you have sprayed on the handle to make it sparkle!

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks! It is spray lacquer.

[@datadev1]

Beautiful Chris. I need to get on your Christmas list but seems like I've been on the naughty list.since about the age of 7.

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Chris! That was very nice work and the piece of cocobolo gorgeous! Merry Christmas! Cheers! Daniel

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks Merry Christmas

[@k.leggott9567]

hi Chris thanks for the amazing video the grain looks amazing on the screwdriver. I'm 14 and I've been building things since 11 .I'm extremely inspired by all of you amazing wood turners. I've been interested in a lathe for a while but my father won't allow me to buy one as he hasn't used one before and says it's a waste of time and money, I'm still interested in one though. Do you have any ideas I can try to convince him to allow me to invest in one ??

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+Kyle Leggett Find some local folks perhaps that have a lathe and have them show you all how to use it etc... there are turing clubs all over. Chris

[@varun009]

+Kyle Leggott Hey, kyle. I noticed you were interested in a lathe. I'm currently in the process of buying a wood turning lathe in india. The asian ones are much cheaper and are a good investment for a beginner. I don't think the freight will cost too much. Sites like alibaba and indiamart list a lot of suppliers. Make sure to look for mini bench lathes and ones for woodturning. Machining lathes (for metal) cost a packet.

[@paulbourgeois5141]

I made some similar handles with Oregon White Oak and used brass plumbing pipe that I got at Home Deopt for the ferrule, 5/8" id, I believe. I used epoxy to attach it permanently. It worked well. What finish did you use for the cocobolo? I have had a hard time finding a finish that will dry properly on that species.

[@howycwap]

wipe it down with acetone or denatured alcohol before you apply your first coat

[@PlaustrumWoodworking]

Great looking screwdrivers Chris. I love Cocobolo but it's so expensive over here. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Regards Bob

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Thanks Bob. Yes it can be expensive.. these particular blanks I have had for some time and I seem to remember I got them for a steal. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

Hola buenas noches, se ve que eres muy diestro con el torno. Tengo unas preguntas: A cuantas revoluciones trabajastes esa madera? Qué clase de madera es? y Desde donde transmites? saludos desde Ecuador

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Realmente no recuerdo lo rápido que tenía el torno. Por lo general, corro en el ajuste más alto para este tipo de giro. Esta madera es nuez y cocobolo, soy de Colorado. Gracias por tus amables palabras.

[@tubntsuagtsab105]

good job

[@KnotheadsCny]

Looks great, Chris. Just curious, why CA glue vs. epoxy. Dan

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Knotheads Cny No reason other than speed of use. You certainly could use epoxy and it would probably be stronger. Thanks for watching

[@MRrwmac]

Chris, Forgot to ask if your still in the CANG? As a reminder, I retired at Ft. Carson 30 years ago and immediately took up new Civilian roots in Raleigh/Durham NC. Haha Anyway, Will you be able to retire soon (if you haven’t already)?

[@RSMWoodworks]

Did you wipe down the handles with mineral spirits (or the like) before applying the lacquer? I've always been under the impression that the wood's natural oils will interfere with top coats if the surface oils aren't "cleared" first, but since I've never used cocobolo myself, I can't personally verify the claim. Thoughts?

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

You know I have done that with pens that I have made... this time honestly I did not even think about it. I did not. Seems like it adheared ok... I guess we will see. Chris

[@k.leggott9567]

OK thank you so much it really means a lot to me :-D

[@MrRay1955]

Would have liked to have seen the hole you drilled if you used a forstner bit or regular bit etc......thanks

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Did you watch the whole vid? Look at about 2:03 Forstner bit

[@MrRay1955]

Yes I did. Also didn't fully understand the reason for off centering. However when making mushrooms on another video it was cool cause the wood gives the appearance of twisting or angled......but on another screw driver video a man did an off center and pointed out it keeps the screw driver from rolling.

[@MrRay1955]

OK went back tried to locate the exact moment you started to drill and the coloring on the video made it hard to see the bit and the fire well it was distracting but ok you used a forester bit......thanks Chris....love your finish I use a DEFT spray.

[@wsdixon0765]

what was the purpose of the copper ring at the front of the screw driver?? and was it a plumbing fitting??

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

+Warren Dixon It is called a ferrule and yes it was a copper pipe fitting (union) that I cut in half. You could just as easily use a piece of copper pipe this size for the same purpose. It serves to help prevent splitting and the like on the end of the handle with use. Thanks for watching Good question! Chris

[@sigguy1361]

Yeah, if you don't put something on there (copper coupling is the most common) the first time you crank that tool or use it to pry something you'll split your handle or at least crack the connection point.

[@ecgarage4384]

What size drill bit

[@williamtell985]

where did the beautiful brass rings come from that fit to the front of the handle. Can you make those ?

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

They are from a pipe union piece you can get at hardware store for a dallor or two
