Thread chasing

[Cliff Rogers]

Easy.... that lid is meant for a different box.

Hey Vern, you got any more brigalow?

Tomorrow we are going to try some of the stuff you gave me a couple of years ago.... hopefully.

A question: How long can an outside thread be chased

I'll put my name down for a quick lesson at Prossy now Jim If I get close to the mark, I'll put an order in with Hughie - having said that, I don't know where the hell I'll ever find time to tackle it once I get home

PS: Hey Cliff, why are there are 9 threads in the lid & only 3 on the box. ???

Vern, time is not something you find, it is something you make.

Here is a better pic of the last dead finish one.

We did a couple more for practice using different timbers but the results aren't worth a photo.

Jim did one out of Liechhardt & I did one out of Karri.

Tried a couple of different finishes on the Liechhardt & it looks good but needs buffing.
It also has a small ding in the lid 'cos it went for a 'six' off the bench when Donald Powderpost Bradman hit it with a handsaw.

The Karri isn't marvelous timber for thread cutting, good practice & interesting colour but to finish it well requires a lot of care & maybe some CA on the thread.

I dropped off a bit of Budgeroo, a big cracked lump of Burdekin Plum & a piece of Brigalow that I got from TTIT for Jim to try over the next couple of days.

I now have a 16TPI cutter on order with hughie.

........Hey Vern, you got any more brigalow?

Not much in log form - all in boards for box-making (one day!) Pretty slack considering it is the most common timber found around here I'll have a look in the stack

Vern, time is not something you find, it is something you make.

Made lot's of clocks and that didn't seem to help at all Doesn't matter where it comes from Allan, there just isn't enough in my life

hmmmmm...might have thought that the reason is in case you happen to gorilla the lid on
