Cool project, but for real nostalgic authenticity it needs to be made from genuine stinky screwdriver handle plastic: cellulose acetate butyrate.
I suppose you could just use some butyric acid to give the appropriate smell of decaying cellulose acetate butyrate…

I recently opened a tupperware saltine cracker storage container that my family had probably had around since the 80s. It STANK. like a weird musty chemical smell. we ended up throwing it out. it wasnt a vomit smell so maybe not the same thing as the screwdriver… but some sort of plastic decomposition was happening…

That much silicon mold material and epoxy resin is getting near $300, and I have no idea what the metal part cost. Expensive little trinket.

Obviously, you’re not a golfer. Apparently there are fewer former shop class students that also appreciate art than I thought.

One of my proudest boasts. I’m struggling to make the association, though.
Let’s see: Screwdriver > chisel* > chip carving > chip shots > golf (with a side branch to cheap shots at shop students).
Nope. The Magritte connection still eludes me.
*Guessing that you may have been citing the old handyman’s adage, “All tools are hammers except chisels, and they’re screwdrivers.”

Oh, you mean the white house at present? A giant container with tons of giant tools.
