Thread Jig and First Wood Threads

I put together a Jig to allow me to cut Threads into wood. Then try it out for the first time. Learning as I go, I'm pretty happy with the results being my first attempt. I'm not 100% on the Wood, it was kinda stringy and chipped out easy so I found myself reaching for thin CA glue to re-enforce the thread locations. I finished it with Tru-Oil. Added a O-ring and call it a win. Will see what happens in the next few months as the wood starts to move. Will it still be able to open and close? Time will tell... As far as the Threading Jig I want to make a few adjustments and tweaks to try and better the concentric alignment.

Thank you for this great video!. You really demystify and simplify the building and using of the Thread jig! Who is your supplier of the X-Y ''tray'' and Thread bit? At what speed did you run the Thread bit on your lathe? Thanks in advance and continue to creating innovative video.

I wouldn't b showing off the close up looked like U made threads with a crack edds teeth hopefully it was time enjoyed coz was long time fukin about for primary school results

I got the x-y vise from the "offshore" tool store Harbor freight. But any X-Y vise would do the trick. If you end up picking up a cheap one as I did, you might have to go over it and clean it up a bit. I had to spend an hour or 2 cleaning it up and removing paint from surfaces that shouldn't have been painted to get it to operate more smoothly. As far as the Thread cutting Bit, In my case it was 3/8 shank, 3/4" Diameter, 3/16" Wide 60° Double Angle Cutter that was High Speed Steel. Main thing is that it will fit into what Collets you want to use. I was running the cutter at about 1300 RPM for this project. It's really about finding a good feed and speed balance when cutting to minimize chatter. Appreciate you taking time to comment! Let me know if you have any other questions.

It's wood, tear out was expected. Given how stringy the wood was I'm surprised they looked as good as they did given they were also end grain. Its a learning experiences and for the first wooded threads I've cut I think they turned out well. They catch and thread smoothly even with the tear out and do the job they are supposed to holding the lid on.
