He was showing turned boxes with threaded lids
Bought my first lathe for my 50th birthday. I attended a demo at rocker wood turningI had a lathe before pens. There used to be a woodworking show on DIY, that the guy only worked on a lathe.
He was showing turned boxes with threaded lids, and pens in one episode. So I went to Johnson's Workbench, and Woodcraft for supplies, to give it a try. After a couple hundred dollars, I went home and made a pen. Back then, there were limited styles available.
It snowballed, and started casting, and a few years later found IAP.
Are those brass? Knowing the thread pitch, it wouldn't be real difficult, but...Yall should learn to make screws. Tool collectors pay $20 each for Stanley BSW thread screws to repair old woodworking tools.
Yes sir. I've made both aluminum and brass clips. I was going to try stainless, just never got to it.Lpherr, have you made your own clips? What are your thoughts on roll stops?
yada, yada, yada, thingy, dohickey, blah, blah.
I feel ya bra.yada, yada, yada, thingy, dohickey, blah, blah.
We try to keep it in Layman's terms.I feel ya bra.
I didn't have a problem with my notifications. I don't want to be notified any time someone posts in a thread I've posted in. That would drive me bonkers. Is that what you were talking about?DD, did you get your notifications figured out?

Ok, I'm going to say those are probably rolled, rather than cut. If they're cut, I wouldn't do it for $20 a pop. That would be very labor intensive, with the stepped diameter and increasing pitch.They're steel. Straight Slotted, cheesehead and round head. British Standard Whitworth... it's not only a different pitch, but a different form. Real niche market. People mistake them for SAE screws and mess up a lot of antique tools.
