How to make non-wooden screw driver handles?
I have some ideas:
>use a metal pipe filled with epoxy like thing and place the head
>make a mold and fill with epoxy like thing
but what would be the best material?
>>
Carbon. Less air resistance means you can screw faster. Faster, faster oh my god, faster.

how?
>>
Just get some PLA.

I like the epoxy idea, you could also use that with a plastic tube. If you make a small furnace you can melt zinc or aluminum and cast your own handles. You could also use an oven to melt some HDPE to make a blank of plastic you can turn for a handle. HDPE degrades in the sun so the best color is black HDPE and the worst is the milky white that milk jugs are made of.

Micarta.

Google it, enjoy.

I wonder if I can melt a plastic bottle into a mold using a heat gun

it was cool (except for the mdf mold)

I soldered some into metal handles over 20 years ago. They are still going strong. These were miniature screw drivers though.
>>
>>1201605
also good idea

Why exactly do want to use non-wood handles and why is the MDF mold here >>1201485 an issue?
Is it a lack of woodworking tools? A hatred towards wood or a challenge from a friend. Depending on the answer we can help you come up with something that you can do.

Laminated plastic plates would also be cool, different colors glued together with CA glue. Then just sand the edges to make it smooth.
CA glue can be bought cheap and a sheet of acrylic is only a few bucks.

It's quite easy, take the metal part of the screen driver. Lather it in crazy glue. Wrap your hand around it. Never worry about losing your grip ever again plus it's portable.
