    Default Can someone turn me some screwdriver handles?

    This is my first venture into the 'turning' side of the forum - spend most of my time in the general woodworking side. I'm looking for someone to turn six screwdriver handles for me for a fair price - I have pretty large hands and the standard Stanley plastic ones or even most of the wooden ones I can find are just not ideal. I have bought six shafts (three straight and three Phillips head) and some ferrules from Lee Valley and now need someone to make me some handles something like the ones in the pic. I am in Parramatta, so obviously someone in the Sydney area would be ideal. I have timber and can cut to whatever specs you would need.

    cheers

    I suggest adding some flat spots (4-6) so they don't roll around by themselves.

    Cheers,
