Add Service to Finder Toolbar?
In Finder, "New Terminal at Folder" is available under Services.
Is there a way to add that service to the Finder toolbar?

Here is an AppleScript that will cd to the current open window in Finder:
tell application "Finder"
set myWin to window 1
set thePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
tell application "Terminal"
activate
tell window 1
do script "cd " & thePath
end tell
end tell
end tell
Save it as an Application and drag that application to your Toolbar.

What does that service do exactly?
You can drag just about anything to the Finder tool bar...
Get to know the Finder on your Mac - Apple Support
See and organize your files in the Finder on Mac - Apple ...
It is very useful to me.
If you check it, it should show up in the contextual menu when you ctrl-click on a folder, or in the gear menu > Services if you select a folder. The key is you have to select a folder, not in a folder.
You can't make it act on the folder you have open. If that is what you want, then you'd need to use leroydouglas' idea of creating a shell script or AppleScript application to add to the toolbar.
That service is not even present until you select a folder in the Finder. It simply launches the Terminal application with the current directory location inside the selected folder. Unless you are familiar with the UNIX command-line presented in the Terminal, this seems like a pointless service item.
Thanks, that works perfectly :-).
