Good work John😊 love to see you reduce the nose of the thread to the minor diameter, this was the way I was taught, giving a fixed final reference point. after all on most occasions excess material can be faced off if not required.
To anyone sitting on the fence in regards to supporting John on patreon, Ive been happily supporting him since he started his patreon page. The quality and the amount of content he makes available cant be beaten. Id highly recommend doing it because you really are getting value for money, especially compared to other larger youtubers.
When ever I see thread cutting on a lathe I hold my breath expecting the 2nd pass to strip off the first. I know it simply must work because the lathe is meant to do it and Ive watched you do it many times. I really must pluck up the courage and try it on my lathe.
As an apprentice I was taught to grind my own tool bit to the angle of the required thread. I wasn`t allowed to reverse the machine to wind the saddle back to tack another cut, but leave the lathe running and disengage the lead screw, wind the cross slide out to clear the thread then wind in back in again plue the desired additional cut. Engage the lead screw on either a number or dash on the lead screw rotating indicator and kept my fingers crossed everything went ok. repeat many times until the thread was cut
Sad to hear about the weather cancellation, but I'll never complain about "hanging out" with you in the shop! I look forward to watching the whole video. Edit: At 10:35, whatever you did to get that camera shot of the threading, thank you! That was a fantastic view.

Great video John, keep'um coming.
Evening John man, sorry to hear about the weather, hope you still had a good one, thanks for sharing mate
😂there's one in there, just got to find the b*****d. Made me chuckle.
Great work John!
Thanks John
as per brill
Not complaining but is that insert 55 or 60 degrees, BSP is a 55 degree thread, not a 60.
55 deg whitworth form tool 14 TPI proper one for the job .
@@doubleboost or even 11🤣🤣
Are you sure this material was nylon? It looks and sounds like delrin/pom/acetal/polyoxymethylene …
I used the word "Nylon" . I should have said plastic as i have no idea what it is , other than it was free .
