Restoration of a screwdriver. This time, this old and antique hand tool is being restored. Since you need this tool again and again, it is worth restoring. ▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Since the wooden handles of this antique screwdriver were already very worn out, I decided to remove these old handles and make new ones. Which was also my first step. Then I removed the rust from the old screwdriver and sanded down any grossly damaged areas. At the far end, the old hand tool would often be hit with a hammer, which caused the metal to deform, which I got back into shape. Now it was time to polish the prepared antique tool to a shine. It took many hours, but I think the result is great! Now it was time for the tricky part, restoring the new wooden handles. From a piece of beech wood and a lot of time, I adapted the new handles to the screwdriver. But I didn't make it until the second attempt. Now everything had to be assembled, the wooden handles were connected with a slotted rivet, and the old tool shone with a new shine. ▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I found this old but also beautiful screwdriver in my grandfather's workshop. He gave it to me with the intention of restoring it, otherwise I would never have got it :) My grandpa is of course older and has many such treasures. It's always fascinating to be able to hold one in my hands. What is the story of this old object? Who was holding it in their hand? What clothes did the people of the time who owned it wear? ... I always find it exciting, not only with regard to this screwdriver! Unfortunately, I couldn't find much about this old screwdriver on the internet. Except that it was made around 1930 and is called the "Perfect Handle Screwdriver". Do you know more about this piece of jewelry? Then feel free to write it in the comments. I used the following tools: cordless screwdriver, angle grinder, file, sandpaper, steel wire attachment, hammer, punch, polishing disk, polish, countersink It took me about 11 hours to restore, without the paint drying time. ▬ Chapter ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 look at the screwdriver 0:31 Remove wooden handles 1:51 Look at all the components 2:01 Work on the surface with a steel wire attachment, file and sandpaper 6:11 Polish the surface to a high gloss 7:31 Make new wooden handles 11:29 Look at all finished parts 11:42 Reassemble the antique screwdriver 12.47 Lubricate wooden handles with oil 13:13 Look at the finished old screwdriver ▬ Did you like it? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Did you like the video?
