I based the design of this tool on the classic watchmakers screw head polishing tool, whilst also leveraging the structure of the Sherline lathe. It does an excellent job, and makes achieving a screw head black polish with square edges much easier. I made this tool before I started to make videos, but you can see it in action in this video.
A great weekend lathe project, this project results in a heirloom style tool that you will keep and use for life. Please note that these plans are part of the standard $1 and above reward tier on Patreon. For more info about helping me make these videos visit https://www.patreon.com/clickspring

This is a perfect project for a small lathe, and after building it you will have a great little tool to add to your collection of Sherline tail-stock accessories. The tool has a great feel to it, and is made from readily accessible materials. The plans detail all required dimensions to complete the project. Watch the construction video here, and you can also follow along with an Instructible here.
A dedicated bluing pan is a must if you blue a lot of small parts like screws etc. There is also a need for a tray filled with brass shavings, for those larger parts. So in this design, I have incorporated both a deep tray and flat tray with holes that share a common handle.
