Scoutcrafter Screwdriver Challenge

Thanks to Scoutcrafter for putting this screwdriver challenge out there. Not my best work, but had fun with it! Tried something new with some casting resin for the handle. It was really difficult to get it completely round and symmetrical, but I got it close. The resin was a mess and all that sanding laid down a nice white layer all over the shop even with vacuums and dust collection running. If nothing else, this challenge may have inspired me to finally look at a lathe! Thanks for watching.

Beautiful!!! What a heavy duty looking screwdriver! I can’t believe you got it perfect without a lathe. Awesome!!!! 😃👍

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Scoutcrafter, well it's not perfect but I appreciate the kind comment. Great challenge, lots of fun.

[@AndyM.]

I CANNOT believe OBI WON doubted your turning abilities without a lathe!!!!!

[@christopherlusk9385]

Very impressive. I am glad Scoutcrafter had this challenge so I can check out works like yours. Thanks

[@westhighlandsshop]

Hey, thanks for watching and the great comment. Pretty cool the things he comes up with, not only to challenge everyone, but to bring like minded people together.

[@garageshopminnesota]

That was great work! I was thinking the same as you that the handle looks like marble. I really enjoyed the video!

[@westhighlandsshop]

I really appreciate it, had some fun with the project and my attempt at click bait. 😂😂

[@Dalesworkshop]

Thats outside the box for sure.,You did a good job., The color is good, It looked like you did get some swirl., Thats a nice piece for your collection.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Dale, it's a wall hanger for sure!

[@Joseph-ef5mh]

Crafting at its best. Grab a few things from around the shop and see what happens. Good job!

[@westhighlandsshop]

That was the idea, thank you very much

[@rawbacon]

Very clever David! I like it a lot - well done! That handle looks great.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Bill, loads of fun making this!

[@Bigfoot14000]

Pretty creative use of an old wrench. I intended to submit a screwdriver of my own to the competition, but realized I was out of vodka and orange juice. 😵

[@westhighlandsshop]

🤣🤣 Thanks, maybe I should have started with that screwdriver!

[@johnmclaurin]

NICE! Loved watching this!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thank you John, appreciate you tuning in.

[@johnfix1]

I like it because it is just like builds I have done. Not the same but just getting an idea and diving in hoping for the best. Oh, I also am all in on the mess. You had an amazing idea and the screwdriver turned out great.

[@westhighlandsshop]

HI John and thank you! Yep, that was it exactly, had an idea, dove right in and just had to wait until the end to see where it took me!

[@Uwannawatch]

That's cool and different! I like it! But ya Man sanding resin is a messy job! Great Job David!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks George. Mess is an understatement, I was covered in that fine dust as well as my shop! Oh well, fun times. Appreciate ya brother.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Man that pretty cool! Great thinking! I like it!!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Vic. One day I'll get a lathe and strive for your skills on it! Appreciate ya man.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

@@westhighlandsshop you wouldn't have to anything but set the lathe up to pass me... your a natural Mr. Dave!!

[@davidchristensen6908]

Thumbs up and a comment. Nice to see your video.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thank you very much!

[@357magdad]

That's a cool handle idea David! I bet you wished that you sanded it outside!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Magdad, yes I do.

[@lotharfunke8749]

[@westhighlandsshop]

I'm glad you like it! It was fun to make.

[@TomGunnTools]

Super creative, nice job 👍

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thank you Tom!

[@ToolsandTime]

Pretty cool man. I like how you used a wrench and the resin casting.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Glad you like it, thanks

[@AndyM.]

I FREAKIN' LOOOOOOVE IT! The epoxy is the way to go!!!!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thanks Andy, haven't messed with that type of epoxy resin much, I see a future!

[@plainnpretty]

I would have used wood but it came out great nice job Thanks Dave

[@westhighlandsshop]

I appreciate it. For sure wood is a great choice, but no lathe and just wanted to try something different.

[@plainnpretty]

@@westhighlandsshop nothing wrong with something different

[@ArmandoLoni]

Nice one 👍🏻🛠️

[@westhighlandsshop]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@WEABRNC]

I like your fancy prison shank!!!
Can you make a Phillips Head?

[@westhighlandsshop]

What? I don't know what you are referring to Web....🤣🤣 Maybe one day I'll try a Phillips head, saw a guy do one on this challenge.
