Sup all!
(BTW The following instructions can also be used with minor modifications to make a hublot H screwdriver, just in case if you don't want to look too ghetto to use this:

BUT, for the Hublot H-screws, I still recommend using the good ol springbar remover above :mrgreen: )

Why oh why do I even bother posting this you ask? well, I asked a question here:

http://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&p=403511

..with no answer. Thus, I decided to answer my own question and make my own tool.
It's not that hard! Heck it's easy, and I just wanted to share my experience with you all! 8)

DISCLAIMER: These are not full comprehensive instructions; please use common sense when following these instructions.

The risk are entirely yours! I am NOT responsible for any damage or repercussions of any kind, for example, divorces due to something being cut off, that results from you following these instructions.


Tools Required

1. A Bergeon screwdriver number 300. The bergeons have a replaceable--read:expendable--tip, and they seem to be NOT made of tool steel like other screwdrivers. This means they are easier to shape!
2. Another smaller screwdriver to drive the holding screw out. I used a Bergeon 140
3. A Dremel. I have the old kind.. years and years ago I bought it used off eBay and it still works.
4. A metal cutting wheel
5. A vise

Steps
1. Get the tip out

2. Mount it _securely_ and as level as you can on the vise

3. Hold the dremel steady on the top, and slowly work your way down. Since you are cutting metal, use higher speeds and a little cutting oil.

4. Voila! It's done! Mount it back!
