Do not try to improve ... The tips in this video, the simplicity of maximum, minimum cost and optimizing the use of basic tools, has daily use, starting now ... Fantastic, thank you John ... !!!
John, best method I have seen on making the screw. I watched your nut video and can emphasize with you. There is a simple no cost solution. Make your nut out of reprocessed hdme. Make a little jig 3 sided jig With removable ends. Make the interior of the jig twice the diameter or your rod. Make 2 square ends to put in the ends of your jig. Drill these ends in the center to accept your rod. Now insert your screw into the jig. It will look like a little box with your rod through it. Clamp both square ends. Now process your hdpe while it is hot force it into the space surrounding your rod you must force it in using a little push stick so it completely encloses all the space in your jig, overfill the jig a little and then put a top on your jig with a clamp. Let it cool completely. The hope should contract a little during the cooling period and should come off easily. I would put the jig at the end of your rod to make removal easier.
The idea of the paper strip is simply brilliant! Thank you for the clue, now I can start building my moxon press :-)
When I was a boy, we used to cut threads like that with a pocket knife. If we wanted to show off, we'd do it blindfolded. In all seriousness, that's very clever. Job well done.
Thanks for showing the various ways of improving the method. It saves us going through the same experimentation. Great video.
The music and editing on this one really tickled me. Fun to watch.
Do I see an all wood twin screw vice coming?
You are incredible creative. I love this old videos from you. I remember that was very inspirational for me to start and learn woodworking.
great instructional video. Thanks for taking the time to share your work John.
Loved the music and your relaxed and honest presentation.
Thanks John, great video. You are very creative. You have some of the best videos that help us less creative folks.
Love it John. The ability to make treads has always been on my list. Thank you for helping us find ways to do it with tools we already have.
Great idea, I can't wait to see the project you come up with to use these in.
Love the simplicity of the jig!
Very interesting, basically what you had with the bit method was a mechanical high pass filter with a feed-back loop. The wooden peg follower method was a low pads with dampening. Very cool.
This is very well thought out, great work!
That's really awesome John!! I see this opening up a number of shop built jigs :-)
cool, thanks for sharing this. I really like seeing the first attempts. A lot of times something that won't work for this project will be great for something else, or like the spacing problem you encountered indicates a general issue that will pop up again so the more we learn about it the better we'll be able to find a workaround.
Thanks for yet another interesting video, John.
Great idea John!
Nice work and GREAT music!
I want one of my own now - love the concept.
Very impressive approach and finish! Good video. Thx
That makes it look so easy. Thanks
nice editing. very enjoyable to watch.
Didn't think I would like this video... But I did. Great music and video all around. Thanks.
Great job John, Thanks for sharing. Regards Harry
love the editing! :)
Who knew you could sing Opera. You are a man of many talents. Great video thanks.
Great thinking, love the video, nice music too
Great video John, have also seen a method where they used a razor blade set on an angle that cut (score) the outside of the dowel just under 1/16 to start the thread off. They were able to angle the razor blade to adjust the pitch.
That's pretty cool john. I've often thought about a jig to do that but have never made an attempt. Maby someday. I've got way to many irons in the fire now
This is a joy to watch. Thanks for your example of enjoyable and intelligent woodwork. I wonder could you suggest the best timbers to use for this sort of fine machining?
Good afternoon John
My name is Augusto'm from Brazil want to congratulate him for the projects accompany most of your videos like you to build a homemade cnc cutting wood and manufacture of handicrafts
Thank you
Loved the music! Felt like I was watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Great jig, thanks as always....
Thanks for this. I'm trying to make a worm gear and this has helped me figure it out.
Very clever method. Thumbs up!
Awesome sense of humor
That was bad ass, nice and simple, gongrats man! :)
This is a great one!
I find this idea is smart. Bravo
Brilliant! Bravo for the nice video, too!
great stuff as usual - waiting for nut...thanks dude
Wonderful work John. I would like to know if you had the correct angle in the first place with your guide dowel, would you need to do the initial free hand cut? What would happen if you used a wooden half nut for the guide? Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
What a wondefull video help.me a lot thank you From.Costa Rica Central America
Props. It isn't something I'd use often so it's great it's such a thrifty effective method. I may try to match acme threaded broom handles for perfect instant starter threads.
gracias John por compartir tus conocimientos , son una inmensa ayuda .
Thanks, will be trying it out.
Awesome! I love it
notable y excelente lo voy a practicar. gracias
Nice job!
¡Wonderful! thanks for sharing.
Great idea Thanks for sharing!!
John I have a thought to improve it a little. Maybe take an existing piece of threaded rod 2-4" long and use it as a master "die". Mark center on the end of it and an unthreaded piece and use a two pin setup from the master into the blank. Pins made from nails would fit the bill. And use that "master" temporarily attached to the blank as a way to get it started. Might just make things easier and more repeatable and definitely much quicker. At least in my mind it does all of that! Hahaha but just a thought. LMK what you honk or if you have already thought of that or even tried it already.
Great video, in addition I was thinking you could attach your dowel to one that already has the threads you want and then use one already made as a guide.
I missed how you achieved the feed angle, but brilliant presentation, John
Amazing!
John you did well great set up
have you got a lathe :-) if not well worth having in the shop!
All the best Robbie
Excellent!
Excelente, parabéns!!
thank you so much your video help me a lot great idea .
Wouldn't it be possible to connect an existing thread to the end of your brand new dowel with something like a dovetail? The existing thread could then drive the dowel without having to play with tape.
John, if you hit the deck, we're going to have to petition your family to save your brain for science ! lol
Really, how you come up with this cool stuff is great !
(And the music had me cracking up.)
Thanks and keep them coming.
I can't remember the last one I haven't hit the "Like" button on.
I found this video very relaxing...
A motor diver to switch rotation and a left cutter'? overengineer I now I now...
Cheers mate!
Very cool!
bravissimo 👍 beautiful Italian music too 👌
Brilliant!
I love it. Sorry to ask the question, but what about nuts to match those beautiful threads?
Thanks keep it simple I love that sometime it is not that I don t want to the thing is i don t have to much space so I love that you think to simplify Thank you guys are somekind of idols to me thanks again
You put a lot of thinking into this one John.:)
Do you have any special plans for using these wooden threads in a project, or just for the sake of doing it?
Thanks Roy. I have some projects in mind, but I do like doing things just for the sake of doing them.
Very interesting.
Considering starting the thread is very sensitive... what if you had a detachable lead-in that you could just screw into the end of your dowel? That way you could use that as a perfect template and not have to worry about easily screwing it up and creating waves.

Once then you have a "perfect" right hand and left hand form for a diameter and TPI, how do we transfer that model to work pieces using our wood lathes? Better still a router table attachment or is that where you're going?
Somehow the opera really works with woodworking...interesting experiment.
I like it... now just, how to make the matching threads in a block of wood to get it all functioning......
Can some kind of jig be made with the screw already created and by that get it so that is you change the distanse of the threads in this video the matching threads will also change ?
Awesome!
Great start. A downcutting bit should leave a cleaner thread although yours were fine after sanding. The pin method should work on LH threads if you start the dowel from the other side. Yes, backwards from how you normally feed a bit but not when cutting LH threads.
Neat stuff!!!
You are always so creative and interesting to watch. Once you have the threads how do you use them? Isn't the hardest part of threads making the female nuts?
I can see a cordless drill on slow speed turning that dowel. Would give a steady and consistent feed, i.e. no bending as you rotate it hand to hand.
MarkleZephire See Izzy Swan's version.
Interesting. Thanks!
Very interesting approach. However, I understood that for wooden threads, the groove should be V shaped with a 90° angle at the root (not 60° as for steel). This presents the forces at an angle to the nut that prevents snapping off the wood at the root.
Nice John, did you have to alter your router bits shape any? And what router bit did you choose to do this process?
I like watching the process of figuring it out, trial and error. Yes, you could buy a tap and die for $80, but it's much more fun to figure it out yourself.
goooooood idea ! THX
Well done! +John Heisz
Hmmm, the right hand thread worked so well, and relatively simply, is it possible that the left would have worked better by just changing the direction of feed (I.e. either left to right, or maybe the fence to the other side of the router bit, or some combination of both) ? My experience has been that when my router messes up a cut, it's either direction or depth of cut....
Darnley Bynoe You got it. The right hand one worked well because the dowel rotated toward the fence, pulling it up tight. The left hand one was being rolled away from the fence. Feed from the other direction would have done it.
Wow, that was a crappy trick to advertise the ripp-off 16000 wood plans site :-(
Did you Photoshop the threads on there? ;)
genial... vou tentar
eu gostei muito, muito criativo
BRILLIANT
Thank super !!!
I would figure out a way to put the end of the dowel into a drill and make a jig for the drill so that the only way it will move is towards the router. no up and down and no side to side. Also, with the drill, you can control the rotation speed as precise as possible.
John Heisz , I think you would really enjoy a 3D printer. They are great for jigs and brackets. I have a Da Vinci 1.0, and it is super handy for things like you are trying. The wood sliding against the plastic would probably glide nice too.
John that thread is all very nice but how do you make the Tap opposite female end?
Do you any similar brilliant ideas for cutting female threads? Being able to cut left- and right-hand threads, both male and female would be ideal for making wood handscrews.
would it be easier if you used a drill to turn the dowel?
Your brain is pretty amazing and so is the music in this vid!
It's kinda screwy..but I love your cutting edge ideas and experiments.Thanks John.
