I never get tired of watching old screw drivers being given a new life!

[@357magdad]

They are fun to work on!

[@merlinsatrom6678]

Absolute artistry with those conditioning belts Magdad!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

This is probably my favorite set of video to be honest. There's something simplistic and beautiful about Steel, Wood and Brass altogether. Well done sir.... again lol.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! t's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!

[@DeeegerD]

I like how you show your work so others can learn. Unlike some scouty people who now just show before and after.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoy my content!

[@johnkelley9877]

They look like brand new! The finishes are beautiful and it is great to see them restored. Thanks for sharing this.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! It was a fun project!

[@TheCleric42]

Glad to see your shopping trips are complete, and you and Chuck are back in business. The danish oil screwdriver is definitely the winner-that figure is intriguing.

[@357magdad]

The wood on that screwdriver had some nice age to it - the Danish oil really brought it out.

[@vanislescotty]

A great pleasure watching. Thank you!

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@briansworkshop01]

Fantastic video and great job thanks for sharing your time and skill 👍

Thanks Mitch!

[@ivanstiles7030]

Nice job Magdad. I enjoy watching you restore wood, brass and steel as much you enjoy doing it.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Ivan! Wood handle tools are my favorite!

[@mercuryrising9174]

Chucks truck is amazing absolutely lost it when he drove up. Gold..

[@357magdad]

Chuck loves his pick-up truck!

[@805ROADKING]

Well done Bud!! Better than new!!☻

[@357magdad]

Thanks RoadKing!

[@MattsGarage1791]

my favorite combination-wood steel brass. just need a leather sheath! lots of good advice/technique that I'll put to use in the restoration of several old screwdrivers I have.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Matt! You can't go wrong with steel, wood and brass!

[@johnmclaurin]

Beautiful results! Always enjoy the wood handle screwdrivers!

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! Wood handle tools are my favorite!

Great Job Magdad! The little one in dark walnut is my fav. Good stuff !

[@357magdad]

Thanks Vic! I've got a soft spot for tiny wood handle screwdrivers!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Those look great! You and Chuck always do a great job! Love the wood and brass combo!!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike! It's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Awesome Magdad! They all look great. But I think I like the oil and wax finish best .

[@357magdad]

It was fun experimenting with different finishes!

[@billchiasson2019]

The screwdrivers came out amazing!! Nice job!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bill!

[@larrynelson734]

Great job. I also love the look of steel wood and brass. They look awesome. 👍👍❤..

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Those conditioning belts do a great job too ...

[@357magdad]

I've had really good success with the Red Label conditioning belts!

[@jazzersten]

They came out beautiful!

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@jackthompson2132]

Awesome job!! Thank You for sharing

[@357magdad]

Thanks Jack!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Did it AGAIN Magdad! They all look great! But I think the Danish oil finish the best.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It was fun trying different finishes!

[@Sugarkraft]

Chuck is looking good! 👍👍

[@357magdad]

He was very excited to use his favorite polish!

[@rollerbald]

Absolutely beautiful ! I'm stealing the trick with the heat shrink for cleaning dimples. I like the finish on the small screwdriver best but they are all great! Best, Bill.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you like how they turned out! Check out my rotary tool tips and tricks video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHbbZISqnrJoY5I

Looking good all 3 of them

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Who knew that watching someone cleaning up 3 old screwdrivers would be so therapeutic. Brilliant video, as always Magdag - thanks for sharing your passion with us. Take care 🙂

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael! Working in the shop is therapeutic for me!

[@Resto-Rob]

Wow! They look amazing! 👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!

[@quasarguitar-hi7hs]

They look great!

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@terryrogers1025]

Steel, wood, and brass, one of my favorite types of videos from your channel, they always come out sweet. Thanks for the video sir, very enjoyable.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Terry!

[@larrydemaar409]

They all turned out great. Like the different finishes. Nice repair on the ferrule.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@stewartew]

Great job, as always. I like the oil and paste wax finish.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Stewart! It was fun trying out different finishes!

[@Uwannawatch]

Those came out nice. I like the different finishes.

[@357magdad]

[@ToolsandTime]

Beautiful work MagDad! Pretty clever using the epoxy and catching that crack in the ferrule.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@TheThriftyWoodworker]

Excellently done.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It was a fun project!

[@uncleblack7322]

Your skills are so inviting to watch...excellent shaping on the tips...Love to watch your vids on a Lazy Sunday morning..I too love to use Bob Smith Industries, epoxy...great job, great job..Love your work.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@357magdad]

Thanks Uncle Black! Bob Smith epoxy has never let me dowm.

[@guataco]

You have developed some serious skills. Kudos.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I have had a lot of practice!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

The screwdrivers look terrific. Very well done. Nice work rounding the ends. Sad that the ferrule cracked. The epoxy should help to keep the crack from getting worse. I was expecting one of these to be stained with Bombay mahogany. Dave.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dave! I've got a screwdriver project featuring Bombay Mahogany coming soon!

[@Al-Muhtadi]

Wonderful my friend

[@357magdad]

Thank you!

[@wingnutsworkshop]

I almost expected dark handles, but those look amazing! Well done, Magdad!

[@357magdad]

I'm saving the Bombay Mahogany for a future screwdriver project!

[@nemo4907]

An alternative to a steel bench block is using a hockey puck. Just drill holes or cut slots/grooves where you need them. Full support that won't scratch!

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@JESUS-POTENTATE]

I liked the finish on the middle driver best. It still looked like it had natural wear.

[@357magdad]

It was fun experimenting with different finishes!

[@liljoeii6091]

Enjoyed it very much they turned out perfect thank you for the video

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I'm glad you like how they turned out!

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

Nice restoration. Well done as ever.

[@357magdad]

Thank you!

[@MASI_forging]

Great workmanship 😃😃

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@GuntersGarage]

Wood steel and brass, cant go wrong. You did an excellent job squaring up those tips. Thats a week point for me. My belt sander has sure lit me up a few times. I try to make sure I have my pinky or knuckle on the table. Its amazing the zing you can get from those things 😵‍💫

[@357magdad]

Look into one of those static wrist straps! No more zaps!

[@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks]

Trifecta perfecta!

[@357magdad]

It's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!

[@metalwork.]

Great! 👍🇺🇲

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@johnfix1]

Nice job profiling the tips and I like the finish you achieved on the steel.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John!

[@frankg3072]

As always another great refinishing project Magdad! 👍👍 I thought the handle on the small one looked the best.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Frank! It was fun trying different finishes.

[@garyryman4947]

Awesome job as always

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gary!

[@stevewalker7822]

Another fantastic restoration! Always enjoy your videos!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Steve! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Man! You do such a good job of keeping them cimetrical . I have a tough time keeping the degree the same...

[@357magdad]

It can be difficult to maintain symmetry. On small blades I often sand by hand to keep the blade even.

[@gayle525]

I think the smaller two look the nicest. But you did an excellent job on all three. I guess I just don’t care for a paste wax finish. Great work, like your usual.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gayle! It was fun experimenting with different finishes!

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Great episode, where did you get the anti-static wrist band and conditioning belts? I could use both. Thanks again for your efforts, Keep on tinkering!

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Links for the conditioning belts and anti-static wrist band are in the description.

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Found it, thanks 😊

[@patjohnson3100]

Beautiful restorations. That's a good tip on ferrule repair. I have had this problem a few times, but just let it go, except for polishing the ferrule. You surprised me on the finishing. I was sure at least one would be finished in Bombay plum.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Pat! I've also drilled a hole at the divot and glued in a pin. I've got a screwdriver project coming up that will feature Bombay Mahogany.

[@andyc972]

Nice work Magdad, they all came out great, I love the Bombay Mahogany but that "Early American" stain looks very natural and age appropriate for the screwdriver handles ! You're a great advocate for the RL conditioning belts, I'm tempted to get some but they are quite pricey here in the UK at £40 !

[@357magdad]

Thanks Andy! Try searching for "non-woven" belts. Maybe there is a UK based manufacturer.

[@DavidPlass]

Triple feature!

[@357magdad]

I had three that were so similar, so I figured why not!

[@wireworks616]

They turned out really great. Would be nice if you could find a matching set of Phillips heads to complement this set. 👍👍👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wire! Finding old Phillips head screwdrivers with tips that are still useable is tough.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

For a no name Screwdrivers all 3 came out fantastic Heck Snap on tools Co would be amazed on the Quality finish you did and the other best part Mr Chuck in the video driving around in his hot rod truck what a showoff LOL .. I heard a little Rumor that you are going to restore a Vintage Pogo Stick on next Sunday's Video and use it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .. all kidding aside again Great video enjoy your day always looking out for your next Sunday's video

[@357magdad]

Thanks Roger! Next week will feature Proto not pogo!

[@michaellindsay8934]

Great video Magdad they all turned out great I've always wandered where all the no name tools come from. Those all look like good quality screwdrivers. Thanks for sharing

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Nice job! you make reprofiling the tip look easy and always enjoy your polishing process. I need to order some of those conditioning belts, they seem awesome!

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I've had good success with the belts. I did have to make a modification to my machine to make them fit.

[@JimTurner-rd8jh]

I look forward to Sunday and a 357magdad video. Another outstanding job, those all came out beautiful. And made with three of my favourite materials🤓.I hope you don’t mind if I wish my fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving. Take care.

[@357magdad]

Happy Thanksgiving Jim!

[@beerdrinker6452]

Oh man. My 1x30 shocks me. I thought I had "installed" it wrong. I thought it needed to be grounded. Thank you. I am amazsing a big collection of wood handle screwdrivers. The wood part does not scare me, but after i clean the rust from the shank what should I do. I live in high humidity, very close to the sea, and my shop is not climate controlled.

[@357magdad]

Give one of those anti-static wrist straps a try! I included a link in the description. I keep a coat of wax on the steel and brass to protect against corrosion.

[@agnosjr]

Thank you for sharing! Awesome. Any more goodies from garage sales? Cheers and have a great week ahead.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I found good items at the flea markets...

[@shedmanx3640]

Superb finish on all three of the screwdrivers buddy. What’s not to like about steel, wood and brass?

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!

[@davidcoats1037]

A master class in steel, wood and brass. You’ve got this down to a science Magdad. I gotta admit I was a little sad we didn’t see the Bombay mahogany but they look amazing. Well done! 😃👍🏼

Thanks David! I've got a screwdriver project coming up that will feature Bombay Mahogany!

[@357magdad]

I have a charity auction every year around Thanksgiving! Stay tuned!

[@kimbishop4734]

Another great video!! I liked seeing the different finishes, but I'm surprised that you didn't try to make them look more like a set. You've probably got a lot of those already though.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Kim! It was fun trying different finishes!

[@MadStiles]

Looks great buddy! What is the acid for?

[@357magdad]

Oxalic acid is also called "wood bleach". It is supposed to remove stains.

They turned out beautifully. I really like the color you chose for your ball-peen hammer. What does the acid do to the wood? Deep clean?

@357magdad that's what I thought but wasn't sure. Thank you for the information

This was a really enjoyable video. The screwdrivers look fantastic! What is the name of the music in the video?

[@alexstools]

I always feel the early american looks so great on your projects. But everytime I use it myself it feels a bit grey to me. Wich is not necessarily what I want. Maybe you prep much better!

[@357magdad]

I've had cans of stain where the pigment settled to a thick paste at the bottom. I had to stir it with a stick for a while to get it to reincorporate.

[@patcb829]

The only reason those conditioning belts have held up is because you have a spare new set ready to go.

[@357magdad]

You're probably right! 😂

Nice set of wheels Chuck.
