Very boring thread

How do you make a screwdriver?

Vodka and orange juice.

Vodka and orange juice.

Went to a Japanese restaurant in the city which had a bar. I asked for a screwdriver and the girl behind the bar didn't know what it was.

How do you make a screwdriver?

Depending on the bit but grinder and file, I wanted a hollow ground flat head to not cam out

I enjoy working with my hands I've made screwdrivers in the past we don't all like the same things.

Bomb builders make their own tools so that the tooling marks can't be traced.

We learned that from Evil Genius !

Max I have a set of Roval wheels 27.5 + with tires. They were dinged/bent and I fixed em and they hold air.

That's counter-intuitive, I would have guessed that a hand-made tool will leave it's distinctive marks helping to associate the bomb to the alleged builder, where all industrially produced tools would be more 'anonymous'...wait, were these bomb builders caught by any chance?

The trick is to use craftsman tools, I think it's made from marshmallows

Curious though, why would you want to build your own tools, especially tools that require to be perfectly flat or square such as in requiring exact machining...not to mention they're probably cheaper to buy than build. I would honestly buy a solid set of tools and then concentrate on using them on as many projects as possible to make them worth the initial expense.

Sometimes it's more about the journey than the destination. There's a certain satisfaction creating something as "simple" as a tool that can perform the same task as one that you can just buy. It's also not as hard to get perfectly squared surfaces as one would think if you are good with measuring and pay attention to what you're doing.

I've made plenty of tools and fixtures because they either weren't commercially available or were prohibitively expensive and they were needed to get the job done, slightly different than what Max is doing but not that far from it.
