Screwdriver

[mobetter]

Here is a pic of the "screwdriver" I made for my Wife about 12 years ago.
It's a long story, I was up for the weekend fire watch at the plant "insurance reasons".
I had 2 12 hour shifts and nothing to work on so I ask her what she wanted me to make for her (I'm a millwright/toolmaker)
She asks me to make her a hammer, I said been there done that. So she asks me to make her a screwdriver.
Here's what i brought home, we still call it "the screwdriver" and when someone hears us call it that I have to tell this story over and over.

OK, I read it three times and I still don't quite get why it's called a screwdriver. I get that you're a toolmaker, that a screwdriver is a tool, and that it has wheels... dunno where I'm going with this.

It's quite simple, after the first 12 hour shift of being on fire watch I was bored out of my skull.
I asked the little woman what she wanted me to make for her. She requested a hammer, I have made many hammers, that would also be boring,
So she asked for a screwdriver, I have a hundred of screwdrivers, but needed a log caddy. We still call this log caddy "The Screwdriver"! Easy huh?

Government job. No problem here, I get it. Maybe it's the north of the border thing.
