I watch make it / build it / fix it KZfaq videos compulsively when not able to be at my own multi hobby work bench. Out of thousands of videos over the last year, this is literally the most inspiring thing I’ve seen for ages … you’re right up there with Mr Chickadee! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Absolutely beautiful screwdrivers!!

Excellent work. It's okay to be obsessive when you are doing what you love. A reverence for wood.

Very nice 👍👍. Love to watch skilled old school craftsmanship.

Talk about upgrading a set of boxstore screwdrivers!! wow! Very nice editing and a beautiful set of screwdrivers! well done

Sorry, but I laughed way harder than I expected when your clamp broke! I think we've all been there! Great improvement on the handles!

I appreciate the music. Much better than the driving beat of most modern music.

Beautiful work.

Subbed and damn nice work.👍👍🇺🇸

Lovely work!

Great Job. Thanks for sharing

great job !! Also i really like your editing !

Very nice , i did something similar except i started with a full blank of curly hard maple , but i made the London pattern , which is octogon or hexagone one of them lol cuz it always pisses me off when my screwdiver rolls of my bench !!

Encore une fois du beau travail. Ils sont magnifiques.

Pachelbels canon in D..Works so good! Nice work.

wow !

I agree with you. I detest plastic handled screwdrivers. They may be handy in a mechanic's shop, but in a woodworker's shop? No way! Well done! Your decision to mount the blades before you turned the handles -- Brilliant! Lacewood?? BTW: Sleep Baby Sleep and the Pendulum Waltz -- Utterly inspired!

I have to do this with mine… omg

I don't think it would have worked on those hard plastic handles, but there is a 'correct' way to remove the handles from screwdrivers. Companies like Snap-On used to do it to replace damaged shafts on screwdrivers. They replaced just the shaft instead of the whole screwdriver, because they were usually part of a matching set. You slip a washer over the shaft of the screwdriver to protect the plastic, and then clamp the shaft vertically in a vise (handle upwards), almost up to the handle, but leaving about 1/4" of space. Then, you use a crowbar under the washer to lever the handle up and off the shaft. This works great on the transparent acetate handles but I've never got it to work on the harder plastic handles.

Hope you see this, but I buy the kit from rockler and it comes with a brass ferrule for leverage, it seems like you basically made your own with the side by the actual metal?

The handle mechanism reminds of the work of Jean -Henri Riesener. His pieces were all full of equally intricate mechanisms. You'll find videos here on KZfaq.

Sub'd and scanning your channel gradually I really like your musical choices. Pachelbels Canon D is one of my faves

Well, I'm watching your videos for a second time now to catch all the Easter eggs and just for the sheer enjoyment. As you replied earlier to a comment, Lacewood probably wasn't the best choice because of the grain structure although, beautiful. A much tighter grained wood that's less splintery like maple as you mentioned or like pear, beech, etc. would be better for strength. I mentioned yesterday on another video of yours that your technique reminded me of a machinist and part of that comes from your turning technique. You turn wood like you turn metal. Your results can't be faulted, your work is beautiful but, your technique is placing far more stress on the lathe and rest than a traditional woodturning method. Also, you would shorten your finishing time and amount of sandpaper use. Thank you for the time and effort you place both into these videos as well as the projects.

I really like your work! It’s out of the box and have a good new techniques ! But if I may I would recommend a thing that never stain wood even for a box inside your shop! Wood are beautiful as it is 😍

Muy linda Musica..........

1. Em'er the most beautiful screwdriver handles I've ever seen. 2. You could reinforce the glue line with thin dowels perpendicular to glue line, say bamboo skewers. OTB-Thinker Russ Veinot does this diagonally thru thin plywood box corners & it makes them quite strong

Bloody lovely them mate. The video is great too 👍

Did you hit the chuck when you broke the lathe?

Should you add a facet so they will not roll onto the floor as you did with your chisels?

Can you do a workshop tour video?

Salut Eloïse! Tiens, voila une belle idée! Tout-en-tout j´aime bien tes videos... Ca ne dérange pas ci je met un link sur mon KZfaqchannel? Le bonjour de la petite forest Finlandaise :-)

Cast iron doesn't seem to like you very much.. 😂 Awsome set of screwdrivers you have there (lacewood right??)

Good Job ! If You don't mind..what kind of wood? Also, i like how you muscle your way through things when needed like a male,yet have the elegant kindness of the female persuasion. Bravo Eloise, from a new subscriber..

Love the song... "It's the Catalina Wine Mixer"

what is happening to your cast iron tools 🙀

While they certainly look better I'd consider this a downgrade for tool functionality. If you're going through the hassle why not make new ones from scratch? Tool steel rods aren't that expensive and are easy to work with. Plus you can make it full tanged

Where's the "Ebenisterie" ?...and that music...

What the fuck is up with that music

Choice of music, ok. The very loud music is horribly distracting. When you start speaking, I have to quickly stop the video raise the volume to hear your words. After you stop speaking, I must lower the sound. By then end of minute nine, I am done. Let me know when you adjust the volume. I am deeply sorry with you about the broke tool rest. That has to just be defeating. I know when I work on something, then have to stop because a tool broke, boy it upsets me.
