Making Christmas Screwdrivers !!

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

THANKS FOR THE SCREWDRIVERS TONY. I can't promise I won't mess up any more screw heads but I'll try 😂

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

They are amazing screw drivers. I have learnt a lot watching this. I was not even aware the differences of screwdriver types. Mind blown. I will cherish them. Thankyou again

[@Broken_Yugo]

You can buy sets of bits ground that way as well, mainly sold as "gunsmithing screwdrivers" from what I've seen.

"Merry Christmas Becky" *whispers* 'Totally a cyborg!'

[@rhvette]

So fun bit of trivia, the reason why hollow ground screwdrivers are sometimes done in this flat plate style is because it makes dressing and reshaping the tips much simpler in the end-user's shop. It provides a pair of dead flat faces, so in similar fashion to how you fabricated these, the end user could clamp them down and reshape the tip without losing parallelism. This was especially critical in the days before mass manufacture of fasteners, as each one was essentially custom sized, so if you were a gunsmith tasked with fixing up whatever finely finished hand crafted double rifle wandered into your shop by way of London or Belgium or what have you, you'd often find yourself needing to grind custom sized screwdrivers to not risk marring the finish. Nowadays it's mainly retained out of tradition, but it's still nice to be able to custom fit tools to the job.

[@NBSV1]

The good thing now is being able to get individual bits. That way you can hollow grind them as well as custom fit them to a screw without it being such an investment like a whole screwdriver. Having a hollow grind that fits the slot just right as well as being the full length of the slot really makes a big difference.

Tony your comic abilities and way with words is fantastic. The unspoken comedy of putting on bandaids when talking about the dangers of switching a blade but not talking about the injuries is incredible and why I will watch every single upload posted to this channel.

[@chippysteve4524]

The reason they're called Bandaids is because they were originally developed as protection when changing bandsaw blades to prevent catching/transmitting BANDsaw AIDS.

[@r.h.b.4980]

[@blown96ranger]

never knew why some flat blade screw drivers worked better then others until this video but have come across many a destroyed flat head jet screws in old carburetors now i know why and what screw driver to get as gifts for fellow gear heads

[@audikid89]

Tony a good tip on cutting sheet metal on a bandsaw quietly is to put a thin piece of wood under the sheet metal and cut through both at the same time the wood will absorb the vibrations and greatly reduce the noise especially the high pitch ones. Also reduces burrs on the underside of the cut

[@sophiophile]

It's a good tip, but I don't think it does anything except for the noise (doesn't improve blade life if you are cutting properly). And you know it's all gonna get hand finished, so burrs'll be gone no matter what. (I usually just abuse a burnisher to rub and cut them off)

[@MrTrilbe]

Gunsmithing or Cabinet makers screw drivers or turn screws are awesome they are designed to be redressed for a better and cleaner fit, screws were originally very expensive, the threads were hand filed into hand forged nails and people wanted to show off that they could afford them, you can also use an adjustable wrench or a pair of pliers to on the flats too

[@Just_Sara]

There are some days where you feel like something is lacking, but then when you get a This Old Tony video, that feeling goes away.

[@PeaceBe123]

This old tony; thanks for all the videos. I never wanted a metal shop until I started watching you. You are quite literally the only reason why I can make jewelry and pocket knives today. I would have never had the desire if not for your creations. So thanks for everything.

Tony, re the warp-bend. You can use the temper and shim method. Clamp to an angle iron strong back, shim at the bend, over clamp past straight, temper oven cycle. It will relax the warp out. You can keep increasing the shim in several temper cycles and creep up on the right amount.

Oh ToT I have missed you bro, by far my most favourite channel, it’s not just the skill of making things for me, it’s the brilliant humour that is slipped in as well, “Sitting on the John, holding my uni-selector of course, what do I spy with my one good eye” 😂😂😂 “I couldn’t sleep with myself” and the bandaid covered fingers are all gold in my opinion. I really do hope you get back to a point of doing more videos, Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Cheers from Australia

I wish you had consulted me first. But thank goodness I caught you in time. Most electrical equipment has recessed or highly recessed screws. While uncommon, wide shank short screwdrivers are of rare use in such situations. Guns are not usually more than two inches in the third dimension. Now, I understand it takes time to make these, and at least a week to ship, so today being December nineteenth, you'll have plenty of time to change your design. (Don't forget , your time machine)
