You constantly make things I would swear can not be done by hand by mere mortals. When I see the video, it kind of clicks in my had how it could be done - with lot of patience and skill of course.
Great work yet again! You know, I was thinking that you said nut so many times I literally thought squirrels were going to start coming out of the woodworke 😂😂. Seriously though, watching you do this all by hand is really impressive. The patience you have to have is just incredible. Love how you stick to hard tools only, now that's dedication! Stay safe and Happy Building 💯😁
This is so great!!!! Thank you James! I read that soaking the dowel in mineral oil for several days dramatically reduces tearout for carving later. You can use a clear plastic tube to soak it in; when you stop seeing bubbles coming out of the wood, it’s ready to cut.
Wait on. That's particularly good when using a screw box and it cuts the whole thread at one time. When hand carving it does help a little bit but not quite as much.
If you take light passes and mist often, rubbing alcohol and water 1:1 works. Give it twenty seconds to soak in, then mist wet again and carve immediately. It only works while wet, and doesn’t effect finishes.
Thank you James! I like your videos a lot. I also have done my own wooden threads, or should I say tryings among them. It’s very exiting and fun to make them. I’m waiting to see your threadbox video you said will come soon. I have been using my one inch size threading kit that I bought many years ago, but also made big size bolt threads with a roater. (45mm dia). I tried to make a threading box to fit to that size, but haven’t managed. I must adjust the cutter better. I think I am going to try hand carving like you did. I’m interesting to try bigger size (not a wine press size) threadings too, with your hand carving method. Best regards!
Nice! I was wondering if having dowels for positioning the pieces and getting them aligned would help, or if you want them to freely adjust until the last minute for some reason...
No the doll is just add strength I talk about that a lot in the second video The first set of dowels were a mistake as I accidentally drove the wrong direction. You actually want to keep them a little loose just in case the carving doesn't match up exactly you can move it around a bit.
Very interesting way of making the nut - split n carve style. I believe you maybe could have made the nut first. By the way, will there be a wooden squirrel to go with the "oak nut"!
One thread or two thread? That is a question. Two threaded screws can move 1 inch forward per 1 rotation. One threaded need usually at least to rotations. I can imagine that 1-threaded can clamp things stronger and can be more sturdy. The 2-threaded go faster but has anybody tested them? Do they happen to release the clamped wood?
Making large screws out of wood is actually more complex than doing them in steel...weird For steel you make two or four very long square rods of say 3/16" and wrap them inline as a spiral around a base dowel. then take out the alternate ones and carefully braise your remaining two spirals in place ...voila one vice screw...then you have to make the nut.....way more complicated, but doable
@@WoodByWright the smaller one!?! Omg I'm literally green right now! Nah, but good move not passing them up! I'd hate to see what that would go for on the bay
Just a saw and a chisel… and a plane and a marking gauge, an auger and a brace, and a cutter and marking knife…. And that’s how I ended up with a bunch of tools 😂😂😂
The nut looked harder to make than the bolt. Also, I cringed as you put the dowls in the wrong direction as I thought I saw the joint on the wrong axis.
I found this after I had already made a screw / nut (2") from scratch with only hand tools. This looks much much harder and less accurate than what I came up with, I used edge banding to form a screw track on the lower part of a 2" dowel first, making a corresponding temp nut that registered perfectly using spaced bolts, this produced a perfect screw action and allowed cutting a nut using a threadcutting point installed in the upper part of the dowel, once you have a nut, you can move the groove cutter to the nut, and cut threads in any dowel, much faster and more accurate than this.
Methinks you did this entirely the most difficult way possible. You cut a Threaded Screw by hand. Then you put a cutter in it and use the cutter to make the thread box. Then you put a cutter in the thread box to make more screws. In the end you're going to need both. Why waste all that time making the thread box in the most difficult way possible?
You can't make a thread box without having the inside threads of a nut. And you can't cut those freehand. You need to have a pattern to follow, however you can cut bolt threads. Freehand so that's why you do it in this order.
@@WoodByWright you just cut the inside threads freehand. That's what you did in this video. But you already had the screw, so you could have put a cutter in the screw and cut the threads with the screw.
@@WoodByWright you cut the first screw free hand. Then you cut the threads off of the first inch or so of the screw so you're down to the minor diameter. Mount a cutter in the screw. Then you drill a hole the size of the minor diameter of the screw in your stock. And you cut the inside threads. Mount a cutter and handles and you have a thread box that you can use to make more screws.
Okay that's not exactly right. It's been a while... The initial tap is a dowel the minor diameter of the screw. You saw-cut the threadline in that dowel. Then you take two pieces of wood with a hole in them a tad bigger than the dowel. You clamp those together in the vise. Make a saw cut in the one in the back at the same angle as the threadline in the dowel that goes just into the hole. And in that slot you put a scraper or a saw blade or something that will ride in the saw cut you made in the dowel. Then you mount your cutter in the dowel a couple inches from the end and use that to cut threads in the nut. Or something like that. It's easier to do than to explain. I learned it from one of Tage Frid's books or an old Foxfire book.

Thanks. It is always fun to find other ways to do the same thing.
in portugal and i believe in all europe those screws were made to press wine and olive oil! i saw one myself in Madeira Island... amazing craft work
Right on. A lot of presses use them. Even old printing presses.
Bravo, James!
nice! from Russia with love

I don't need a screw box & tap now. Well done!
Brillant ! I didn't see this tech in youtube since.... Real brillant !

Now this is impressive.
Thank you very much Sir.
Very educational at the same time fun to watch.
That was an extremely funny mistake! Btw, the nut could be fitted to the screw with some Prussian blue and inletted very accurately.
Just incredible.
Thank you very much for this video!!! So helpful!
When is the screwbox coming out James?
When I can find a source for cutters. Though some day I might just break down and make them.
When he said he was going to make a nut by hand, he really meant it. Amazing.
Hello! I was just wondering what purpose the wedding ring on your hand drill served?
Is it to ensure level?
yes it lets you know the bit is level so you can drill a strait hole.
Nice! I was wondering if having dowels for positioning the pieces and getting them aligned would help, or if you want them to freely adjust until the last minute for some reason...

@@WoodByWright that makes sense, having some give while putting it toghether...
Very cool
Pretty impressive work, James! Well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

The problem with making the nut first is it is much harder to match the bolt to the nut. It can be done. It is just a lot harder.
@@WoodByWright I thought if the nut were made into a screwbox then that could be used to make the bolt. Just bouncing an idea....
Is there such a thing as a bad pun James? Nice work on the nut and the screw. Now quit screwing around and have a great week ahead.

I can imagine that 1-threaded can clamp things stronger and can be more sturdy. The 2-threaded go faster but has anybody tested them? Do they happen to release the clamped wood?
You can make the threads any pitch you want. You can make a single thread go 2 inches in a single rotation or two threads go just a half inch.

Muito legal!
Omg that riffler set is so large and nice. I don't get tool jealous often but dammit I hate you right now!
That is the smaller of the two rolls that I have. A few years ago I got one of those deals that was just too good to pass up.
@@WoodByWright the smaller one!?! Omg I'm literally green right now!
Nah, but good move not passing them up! I'd hate to see what that would go for on the bay
Pain. Staking. Whoa...

You drive me nuts

What do you mean?
