Woodturning Hand Chase Threads + Three Plus Critical Tips

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

Threading can be intimidating. Expensive wood, fine detail, high risk for destroying a project.

What to do?

1. Separate threading from the main project. Thread an insert. While inserts can be purchased, with a little practice, you can make your own.
2. Use common woods such as cherry, poplar, maple in a segmented disk for your insert. These are sustainable woods that do not deplete the rain forest.
3. Overcome fear of threading: In this video, we address how to train yourself to the appropriate rhythm for threading and how to avoid double threading.

BTW, for a 16 tpi, the distance from the peak of a thread to its valley is about .08 of an inch. For 10 tpi - ~ .13; for 20 tpi .065.

Threading tools come mainly in in 10, 16, and 20 threads per inch (tpi) and are available at Craft Supplies USA, Amazon and others.

I lubricated the threads with walnut oil.

Enjoy!
