Supersize Screwdriver

Saw this elsewhere but thought it worth sharing. Too much You-tube video drama IMO, but the guy is talented and the  "build" creation was interesting.

I liked the idea of vacuuming the air out of the epoxy before pouring.  Never saw that done before.

Neat video. The guy's a real artist. 

I use a pressure pot. Much cheaper than a vacuum chamber. But my pot is only an 8 gal. paint pot from HF. Go HF.

I saw a short article to go along with the video...apparently he uses the lathe to help "spin" any bubbles and voids out also.

Very inventive and creative.

It's still a very expensive screwdriver.

If I remember those screw drivers were ?zinc? or cad plated not raw steel.

Interesting video, thanks for posting.

If you think the screwdriver is expensive, think how much a box of screws on which to use that screwdriver must cost?
