My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
Ever since making a tap and die a couple of years ago to make 1" threads I've always wanted to make bigger threads. I made the die for that one from a nut with the cutting edges filed into it, with this new one I make a screw box with a homemade cutter. The nut for the scaffold screw is a very sloppy fit so that wouldn't work as a die because the screw that would be made with it would end up too thick and wouldn't fit the nut made from the tap.
Recently when I made my leg vice I used a scaffold levelling screw which I couldn't find locally so I had to order one online, they were cheap at $16 but the shipping was nearly $25 alone, so I ordered two and that came to $60 all up. I thought the other one would come in handy for another project. Then I thought if I could make a wooden thread from that I could use them on all sorts of projects. In the past I've made barstools with an adjustable height seat (photos on Instagram). They would be good for vices too and my wife has put in an order for a bunch of them for the kids to play with.
I don't go into too much detail with the annealing, hardening and tempering but there is plenty of info on the subject that can be found with a search. I'm no expert but I've done this process around half a dozen times and it's always worked out well even though I'm probably not doing things to their full potential.
A screw box is normally used by clamping the dowel and turning the box on it but I liked using it the other way around - either way works. :)
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I love your craftsmanship, as well as the trueness of your videos. The retrieving of the cutting tip, out of the oil, brought back childhood memories, that gave me a chuckle. One of the games that my Mom would set up for us at birthday parties, was dropping a few nickles in a jar of water, and giving us chopsticks, to try and get them out. You wouldn't that that it would be too hard to do; and everyone thought this, right up until she'd set the egg timer to three minutes, then...everything changes 😯

Dear Neil, magnificent example of ingenuity at work. I like the fact that you produce a long tap to start the process, rather than the shop bought models which only have a few threads on them. One thing you may consider is making a bottoming tap to match the taper. That way you can start a hole that ends with the taper cutter and finish to depth with the bottom cutter. Then you can sink your thread all the way to the bottom. What is also an interesting concept is to get a starting thread that is highly suitable for things like vices - an Acme thread. I have seen some at my antiques store for $20.00 and would make an excellent set of taps - taper, intermediate and bottomer. Acme threads have a better profile and quicker movement than whatever thread was used on this demonstration. I have been playing around with making dowels and wooden threads using various approaches. I used a shop bought thread cutter kit. I soaked my wood {Victorian ash} for three days beforehand and the threads went surprisingly easily. Unfortunately, the threads were brittle and touching the tops broke them off. I then tried some ironbark which was recently milled and quite moist. I didn’t soak this in oil but it cut like butter and the threads are strong without breaking. I guess what one has to do is to experiment with a few combinations of technique to get the ideal end result. Happy turning!
