Even from an ordinary piece of brass blank, you can make an original and stylish thing, which can easily be presented as a souvenir or gift. In this review we will tell and show how to make an opener-screwdriver with your own hands.
In fact, there is nothing complicated here, but it will take a little perseverance and, of course, a creative approach to work.
First of all, the master draws a template of the future opener on paper. And then he cuts it out with scissors and transfers it to a plate of brass. Next, you will need to cut the workpiece on a band saw.
The main stages of work
At the next stage of work, it will be necessary to process the workpiece using a grinder, a belt grinder and a hand file, giving it the desired shape. Already at this stage, we get a cool little thing.
Next, the wizard makes a marking and drills holes. Then, using a hand jigsaw with a string, she cuts out two “windows”. One is at the end of the workpiece to open the covers, the second is in the middle (under a two-sided bit for a screwdriver).
And then it will be necessary to process the workpiece with a file and a drill with a grinding nozzle. It is also necessary to drill another hole for the bit so that you can use the opener as a screwdriver.
