Description: A good understanding of screw threads, and the techniques for cutting them, will aid you on just about any project you undertake. Take the mystery right out of the process with this thorough focus on exactly what a screw thread is and how it functions. Not only does it cover cutting on a lathe with jigs and hand held chasers, it addresses using taps and screw boxes to hand carve as well as:
* cutting coarse and fine threads
* laying out and cutting external threads with a chisel, as well as making internal ones
* utilizing commercial tools and making your own alternatives
Specific projects--including a wooded bolt, threaded spindle, twist-top box, and walking-stick join--illustrate alternative methods of exploiting threads in wood.
