A four in one, or a six in one?

I would say six in one. Two sizes cross, two sizes flat, and two sizes nut driver.

Where does one buy parts for making a screwdriver? Also, was the handle turned?

In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.
