How to Make Almost Any Small Tool in 5 Minutes

This master class will teach you how to make tools such as a screwdriver, awl, chisel and much more from available materials from scratch in almost a matter of minutes.
Very often there is a need for a specific screwdriver to unscrew various, not quite standard screws. For these tasks I prepare the tool myself.

Will need


  • A regular steel nail - choose the diameter and length based on your needs.
  • A piece of wood.

Tools: hammer, knife, vice, workbench or anvil, file.
