Default Making custom tools

Being a little bit of a packrat, over the years I've collected a bunch
of tools. I have several old and mistreated (but not over heated) lathe
tools that I can reshape into some custom profiles. I was eyeing up
some beat screwdrivers in my junk box and wondering about the
suitability of any of those for some mini tools. Has anyone here had
luck doing this? Shaping, tempering (if necessary), and using?

What sort of stock is good to use for homemade tools?
