Wooden Cabinet Drivers - eventual auction

Pat Riley

>A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of the screwdrivers I made because I could never find any nice wooden phillips or robertson drivers.

Since doing so, I have received lots of inquiries about possibly making some to sell.

The interest in them has prompted me to make an effort to return something to WoodCentral since I have gotten so much from this site. In the next few weeks,(hopefully before summer) I will be making a few more drivers, one or more of which I will be placing up for auction - the proceeds to go directly to WoodCentral.

If I did end up making some to sell, what would you guys consider a fair price?

Thanks,

Pat

>What an excellent idea! I have huge hands and find most handles too small. This is a perfect solution.

What did you use for the ferrule/receptical/hex-thingy to hold the long bits?

>Inside the handle is a magnetic bit holder with the back end cut off (the end you normally mount in a drill chuck). The ferrule is a piece of brass water pipe with a plug soldered in the end. All you have to do is drill a hole in the plug, and use a needle file to make the hex - only takes about 10 minutes.

I will be making a few more heavy duty drivers and documenting them with pictures. As well as the driver Ill auction.
