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!
