Screwed wood
I’m wanting to make some 3 inch diameter wood screws for a bench vice and a press. I,ve read many magazines and watched many YouTube videos, but to complicated. I came across a threading tool from Germany, but at $1000 U.S.A. It gets to costly. The thread pitch should be 2 threads or 1.5 threads per inch. I talked to a man who suggested using a metal threaded rod as a guide to set up on my wood lathe, I got lost after a few minutes so couldn’t do that method, Is there anyway that someone on this forum has made large wooden threads,

Hi. I have currently doing the same thing. I have borrowed the following and am making a 1.5inch set for a vice.
Happy to help out, perhaps make you one, for the cost of wood/postage.

Ian is indeed the wooden thread man and I am sure he will reply, but in the meantime I think you will find this thread of interest
A wooden thread thread

Sorry, didn't spot the thread 'til just now.
As Bushmiller says, there is a thread devoted to wooden threading, which should get you started, Redgoona.
If you have a lathe & a router (& suitable wood), you can make any size screw & nut, at any pitch you desire. I've done a couple of articles for Australian Wood Review (#92 & #93) on simple methods for tapping & threading wood. The first article describes how to make a tap, which is where you begin. Once that's working, you make the threading jig for a router, and use it henceforth to tap nuts wherever they are required.
Cheers,IW
