First threads
Well, I'm going to need to be making motorcycle shock mounts, axles, spacial fasteners, all sorts, so I thought I'd best grab some scrap and start trying my hand at threading.
I cut a few threads on big chunks (25+mm diam) of round stock and was reasonably happy. But nothing is proved until you can spin something onto your threads, right? So, pictured is my "Flintstones' (Will-maaaa!!) scale mega nut and bolt, complete with some of my flawed thinking scribbled on scrap for posterity.
The 'nut' threads on very nicely and also constitutes an excellent argument to my wife as to why I now need a mill so that I can cut hex heads onto my nuts and bolts.
Just wanted to thank everyone on this forum for their help and encouragement thus far.
