    Default Some threaded boxes

    Been doing some thread chasing lately, here is a sample of some of the threaded boxes created in the last couple of weeks.

    Box 1 W.A. Marri
    Box 2 Gidgee
    Box3 W.A. Rasberry Jam
    Box 4 Ebony
    Box 5 Dead Finish

    The marri was only fair to thread. All the rest were very good. The biggest box is 95mm high and the largest diameter was 55mm. All were sanded to 1200# and finished with Ubeaut Glow.

    Very nice.

    Can you reveal the secret of the interesting overlapping squares on two of the tops?

    Very nice work. Do you use a set of chasers or do you have one of the new uni chasers? I am a bit curious about those squares too.

    Thanks for the nice comments. The threads were cut using a 20 tpi hand held thread chaser. Takes a little getting used to but a very satisfying process.
    The "overlapping square" pattern on the tops is a pattern that took me 10 minutes to design and a year to work out how to do it. Not a process that easily lends itself to words. It is a multi stage process requiring very accurate machining. I think I will leave it at that. Next time I make a batch I will take some photos of the process.

    Vern all I can say is

    A lovely collection of boxes, and a very good finish on them. Better yet, you've managed to get the grain to align when they are done up.

    And if that's practising

    Well done

    Why are they called boxes, should they not be called jars?

    Very nice work. You put me to shame because I have had thread chasers for a couple of years and have practiced a bit but have never done anything real. The chasers were given to me by a master of this art from Venlo in Holland.
