the cutter is held in normal drill chuck in headstock and chuck is held in other end with normal chuck that you have turned the piece with you then attach to crosslide vice (sorry dont have photo will take tommorrow) all parts i got from sth qld woodworking supplies he also has book which tells all.
found pine is a pain and will not take any form of thread unless it tears if I can find pieces i have tried will take photo to what i mean
catch you

This is the perfect jig, whether home made or purchased.
The thread size is equal to the one which is on the rod which pushed your box. Therefore you can realise real thin ones<O</O
The difficulty only lies in deciding where to start and stop the threading on both the box and it’s lid in order to have the veins of the wood perfectly matching between top and bottom.
On the following box, the slight difference is only due to the wood I lost in cutting the raw piece

SOrry about the size of the pictures
I am sorry about the gigantic size of the two pictures, and especially when you think the box is only 5 cm (less than 2 inch) tall.
Could one explain me (may be in private message so as not to bother all the experts of the forum, how you post these thumbnails at the bottom of your messages. They are so convenient.
Sorry againhttp://www.la-truciolara.com/
