That's awesome! When will they be available do you think?

Scott Miller

Hhhmmm... Looking at that space for the scales & wondering if it'd be worthwhile to try & talk Peter Brown into dipping something silly or inappropriate for scales...

Hand Tool Rescue

Hahaha yes.

S. Nilsen

Cool. ...it came to me in a dream, a set of (carbide insert) woodturning tools with perfect handles.

Just_Greg_L

When can I demand, ummmmm er politely order mine?

Aaron Greene

I REALLY like this idea actually... if you made a video with the release of these with no handles, and demonstrated how to make the blanks, shape them, etc. like go into detail as though you were teaching students, i would buy into this hard. learning to make handles is something i really want to learn as a lot of the tools i like to work with and restore myself are similar in their handle design. and that's one of my major boundaries in restoration. I don't know what woods I should use, finishes, etc. there's plenty out there on shaping, but what about the nitty-not-so-gritty parts? I'd say this is a good opportunity to teach.

Do you also sell the golf ball shaped hangle for giles in future?

Hand Tool Rescue

Hahaha

Hand Tool Rescue

Of course!

Yoel Bittner

Can it have handles for those with mechanics impairments :D

Kenneth Stephens

Can’t wait. I’ll try to get one before they’re gone

Looks like the most expensive bottle opener i ever bought ... and i will buy it

Daniel Roche

thanks! i needed a new impulse buy!!

I have some nice maple burl that is going to be perfect for this.

Callaway ⛳️😬

Hand Tool Rescue

Original was beech, and yes.

Christopher Woolley

I must have one. I have something perfect for the scales

Ooooh.....Maybe another collaboration with James from Wood by wright to see what he does with handle?!? Very excited to get involved with this. I will start looking in the hardwood small off cuts bin 👍👍

How does my money disappear and how much of it goes where?

Do you know what wood were the origial scales? I would just go for stained maple or beech. Also, why are the pin holes slots not holes? Is it to accommodate my rubbish drilling skills?

Hand Tool Rescue

Hahaha, they can eat screwdrivers maybe?

Hand Tool Rescue

Yes, other size will come in the future at some point.

Hand Tool Rescue

The holy making trifecta.

Hand Tool Rescue

I will always sell the ones without handles, so do not worry.

Hand Tool Rescue

Of course!

Hand Tool Rescue

That would look crazy!

Hand Tool Rescue

oh damn!

Hand Tool Rescue

I will sell them with and without handles, so do not stress!

You son of a bean. You are literally sucking money out of my families mouths. Oh well, I'M IN!

Russell Loud

And there goes my money again!

Jamie (The Custom Cave) Reader

Yes, good shout, having the CAD for the scales would be very useful

Marco

Man this thing is huge. Are you planing on making a smaller version? Maybe half the size?

dreamer

That is one bigass screwdriver. I don't think I've ever encountered a screw of that size before :#

This is awesome!!!!! Cool tool, fun project doing something new and I might just hurt myself! Trifecta! Great to see a fellow prairie boy do well!

Sphynx

I assume I will be able to purchase one on release day, but in case I am not able to (due to work), is there any way to reserve one for purchase?

Hand Tool Rescue

I'll send you another for no charge until you are happy!

Colin Wetz

I could buy two and have him make some custom handles for you, send one back. You can find him as “Green Beetle” on YouTube. He’s a good friend of mine. I could have him harden it and make scales.

I’m anxious to get in on this as I’d be upset if I messed up your good work.

Hand Tool Rescue

Oooooo!

Hand Tool Rescue

Haha! I will always sell the DIY kits.

Hand Tool Rescue

Oh DAMN son

Hand Tool Rescue

They are the key to Narnia.

Ricky Lynn

I know it's not supposed to be easy, but what about a paper template for the scales with each order or maybe a file download?

Just_Greg_L

Soooooooon Precious!

Matthew Wilson

*waves money around wildly* Any chance you'd share the CAD of the scale form? I have... ideas.

Brooks Moses

I'd suggest maple or birch (because it's light-colored and durable), and dye it after shaping so you don't have to try to get the dye to penetrate the whole volume.

Marc McKenzie

Looks awesome! Now I need to hunt up some good hardwood that I can dye blue. Ideas, anyone?

Brooks Moses

That certainly sounds quite interesting to me!

Eric Lee

It's not was I had intended, but some wooly mammoth ivory I have might need to be used just for the sheer absurdity of it.

TwoRavens

...and I just remembered I have a giant piece of ebony and a small koa slab that would be AMAZING for this. #yaaaas

Sounds Great! Always love a good project!

TwoRavens

Would you want pictures, video, or both? I have a full woodworking shop and a forge...a crappy forge, but a forge nonetheless...

I just remembered a piece of rosewood burl given to me by a good friend who grew old before he was ready. Time to slab-off a bit an see what I have!

Ryan LaValley

Can't wait, would laminated hardwood/exotic hardwood scales be too plain? (like the layering of skateboards)

Flint Buchman

I may have to wait. I would love to be part of the scale design, but I am afraid that I wouldn't finish in the timeframe given. To much going on. (School is starting here.) If there is an extra, then let me know and I will complete one. Even if I do complete one, I still NEED to get one of your final production ones, so I will be ordering another. Thanks again. Oh yeah, my wrench is on its way. I'm probably over excited. But, I like Christmas early.

I’m so going to make a live edge river table scales 🤣

Username checks out.

Colin Wetz

Want! I have a YT knifemaker friend who can make some scales for me

Brooks Moses

Here I was thinking these were interesting but I didn't need a giant short screwdriver and thus was going to wait until the next size came out, but that "build your own" project is enticing enough that I'm going to have to go ahead and get one.
