Spare parts #6 - Making A Right Angled Screwdriver

[@shodanxx]

You didn't mention the crucial step of adding the handle before bending the second end of the tool body ! So easy to forget, like tube nuts and heat shrink !

[@Tjita1]

Oh yeah, the heatshrink one.. "There, that's my huge electronics project done. Now, let's just add some insulation... ... .... .. shit..."

[@johnsutcliffe3209]

Haha yep made both those mistakes

[@---Michael---]

I literally made the heat shrink mistake earlier today 😂

[@leadcloud]

as a blacksmith, my solution to this would be: buy screwdriver, bend tip lol. But I certainly appreciate the level of craftsmanship here

[@cooperkaesemeyer2220]

ALet338 I'm also a blacksmith and I did that while repairing my forge blower

[@alpham777]

My mind is just. “Harbor freight gives these away for free”

[@warrenholmar1129]

He would have still needed two.... and this is also content 👌

[@taitano12]

Meh. It's just an excuse to play around with his toys for an hour. Missus probably had to go to town, nothing good on the telly, and he's waiting on parts to arrive. Exactly what I'd do

[@hendrikventer4182]

As a Boilermaker I definitely agree with you. But as an artisan, I do appreciate the top quality of craftsmanship. Hendrik Venter from Pretoria SA

[@StEaLtHMel0n]

You clearly put a lot of effort into these videos and I just want say say thanks, I appreciate it. The production quality of these is fantastic and you should be really proud of the quality of this entire project.

[@theramblingbrit4431]

Most people in the comments: "lol buy a screwdriver and bend it" Clickspring: "I'm just going to stone the tips to make them look a bit more presentable"

[@santos.l.halper1999]

Steve the Pirate nice one. I don't think a lot of people would get the joke but man you nailed it ya pirate...

[@vernarddevilliers7899]

I love that camera angle through the chuck, very innovative.

[@themaconeau]

Damn... Every time a normal or spare parts video comes out, I savour these as I know they are every month and the amount of quality in just making the tools is unfathomable to the lay person. I love these videos as they just reassure me that people can be very awesome and not always the opposite. We need more people like yourself in the world - making and fabricating things from scratch.

[@kevinrtres]

Great demo of how to make a tool. One could of course have just gone and bought one from the shop but I appreciate your taking the time to show how it can be done in the workshop.

[@lanog40]

Holy tits the cinematography here is flawless. 1: I love machining videos, and 2: I love high quality videos. You, my friend, are the best of both worlds.

[@Clickspring]

[@kevinbyrne4538]

I don't know which is more impressive -- your skill in metalworking or in video editing. Beautiful workmanship.

[@Metallurg33]

I have several right angled screwdrivers, never the right size and none of them as nice as the one you made. Thank you for your fine work.

[@Clickspring]

+Metallurg33 Cheers mate, I appreciate your support :)

[@Ttavoc]

So much dedication and love for a simple screwdriver. Great work!

[@GregsGarage]

Love the detail... Most guys would just heat up a couple cheapo flat blades out of the drawer. You on the other hand, make art!

[@datpudding5338]

Well beside the fact that in my case it wasn't a cheap one I did exactly this after buying it for exactly that because the bent screwdriver from the same manufacturer costs by far more than the standard flathead model

[@dadthelad]

@@datpudding5338 Did you need to heat it? Or just put it in a vice and bend it with a hammer?

[@Xenro66]

Truly fantastic. Even your simple builds are done with such precision. I really admire you, Chris!

+Jordan O'C (Xenro66) Cheers Jordan, thanks for watching :)

[@trombonista92]

lol, millwright brain immediately went to "buy a 3$ screwdriver and bend it with fire!"

[@44R0Ndin]

+trombonista92 Sounds like a job for a Harbor Freight screwdriver if I ever heard of one. They're so cheap that you can afford to buy one specifically because you need to weld a wrench end to something.

[@neiljborja]

+trombonista92 I think that's what I love about this channel. I feel like half of Chris' tools could just be quick and dirty "shop tools", but he just has to make them all gorgeous. I'd never go through the trouble of making tools that only I would ever use this pretty myself, but it's still ridiculously fun to see all the stuff he makes.

[@priitmolder6475]

+trombonista92 Its not about corporate chinese cheap-o. its about the essence of EVERY tool ever made!

[@TitoRigatoni]

+trombonista92 No need to make it at all, you can buy a 90-degree offset right-angled screwdriver for $5.

[@drawvenmusket]

+Tito Rigatoni but that is not the point (no pun intended) the point is to CRAFT the tools to do the workman proud. Take pride in ALL the work you do to make something, Do all that you do to the best that you can and to the Glory of God. Each time you handle that tool you will take pride in the fit and feel of it and other crafts people that see your tools will know you as a master of your trade by the quality of your tools

+Lindsay Wilson 603 is amazing stuff. I have a compressor hose reel on a pipe that's threaded into a flange bolted to the garage floor. The hose gets pulled sideways a lot and that pipe doesn't budge a millimeter. I've had it installed that way for years now and it's amazingly strong.

You could've just googled it.

Nice video. Re comments, yes you can buy one however if you have a lathe the only way to be any good on it is to practice on projects like this making things you may not need but will sharpen your lathe skills doing it, so when times comes you do need to lathe job you cant afford to get wrong you will be able to do it without messing it up and do a quality job.

+Bill White Cheers Bill, I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@marcin_szczurowski]

Great video, but still I'd made this screwdriver differently. Bend the same, flatten a bit hot on anvil, shape on belt sander, sides concave, harden and temper ends. It would give a better grip (concave sides) and probably lower profile. Well, I guess "there's more then one way to skin a cat" ;) PS How this particular Loctite hold up to high torque?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool tool! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChrisB257]

Another great video Chris. Nice work as always.

[@TheWireEDM]

A quick tip on using Loctite or any glue: put it into the female part of the connection, that way it is spread over the whole area better than by coating the male part. Best exaple of this is gluing a bolt into a clear acrylic block, so you can watch through it how the glue spreads in either case.

[@azashukri5322]

[@Clickspring]

With good reason David: tds.loctite.com/tds5/Studio/ShowPDF/603-EN?pid=603&format=MTR&subformat=REAC&language=EN&plant=WERCS shear strength is comparable to soft solder, more than adequate for this task. Thanks for watching

[@kontakt4321]

I don't doubt it is an effective glue. I'm just so used to 200lb gorillas breaking even solid metal objects that I tend towards mechanical connections wherever possible. Even if Tommy the Torque Titan stops by your shop and breaks it, though, it's easy enough to repair.

[@selske23]

David Maudlin tommy the torque titan! LOL! never heard that before

[@metaling1]

Smashed it again Chris! Great video. Tim

[@Clickspring]

+metaling1 Cheers Tim :)

[@ReverendTed]

As someone who has never done work like this before, my main concern would be that the Loctite would fail under shear and the screwdriver tips would spin free of the shaft.

[@ricky107_]

In clock making stuff it probably doesn't see much torque

[@HugTheBear55]

No homo, sir... But, your voice would be perfect for falling asleep to on the TV. Not saying it's boring, just super relaxing. You may have a future in voice overs if you ever get sick of the brilliant work you do now.

[@w_callaghan8300]

i love the expertise and accuracy in your work! music info would be appreciated tho

[@1pcfred]

I took a short bolt and just ground it into the shape of a screwdriver tip. That way I can stuff it up into a socket and use a ratchet on it. Or even use a wrench if the work space is really tight. I suppose you could even use a hex screwdriver power drive bit too. But back when I made my ground bolt those bits were not nearly as popular as they are today.

Thanks for the interesting visually beautiful video about using machine tools. Myself? I would have taken a spare screwdriver, heated it up a bit with a torch, and bent it over 90 degrees. Wait...I already did this. Took 5 minutes. ;-)

[@TitoRigatoni]

+cemx86 The problem with this is you only get one angle. It really helps to have two angles, offset at 90 degrees. The way I did this was to buy a 90 degree double-ended screwdriver. Took 3 minutes.

[@TBrady]

Flat blade to 1/4" socket to 1/4" ratchet. Put you some teflon tape on your flat blade also to snug it up in the socket

This is the second one ive watched and then i subscribed. Nice work and well explained. Im mainly interested in your thinking and methods and ways, not so much the specific items and it comes through to a viewer very well. I love milling and enjoy the processes and the results. Also, will you make a short vid about your specific equipment and tools? Whats in your shop? What is your background? How did you decide on specific equipment to buy? What jobs can be done? That sort of thing. I dont think people would find it boring at all. Big thanks from me in the meantime.
