Great video, YOU are an excellent instructor, I have learned another detail on making the cutter that I had not taken into account and that is, tempering the tool. Excellent show.
Looking forward to the next segment.
Thank you for your time to share. The link below should show the results of your instruction.

Very well done Carter. Thanks again for sharing this knowledge.

@adifrot – You sure have been busy. Those screws and the nuts look great. I am glad you are making use of the knowledge.

I was carving my screw by hand but I gave up, I’m going to build the router jig soon!

Adifrot, how do you like that Lathe you have? I saw one like that on craigsllist I was thinking of buying.

Carter,
Many thanks to the tutorial.
Making screws and threads have been a challenge for many people.
It is amazing how you manage to make a complex problem and simplify iit for the common folks.
I appreciate you sharing your talents with us.

Mauricio, sorry about not responding to your post sooner. I am a newcomer to wood turning and have found this little lathe to be a satifactory starter for me since I only paid $150 for it. It has crude adjustment levers that are like most Craftsman machines. Poorly designed for regular use. But for me I do not turn that much and for now I am fine with it.
It has enough power and is steady enough for spindle work on hardwood. As long as my chisel are razor sharp and set at the correct bevel. It does what it should for most simple shapes.
Good luck on your endevor.

Thanks Adifrot, I acually just got a similar one for the same price, it came with the tools. I learned to use it and turned out a screw bank. I just replied on different blog post of Carters, It seems ok to me and it has a lot of capacity/length for the money.
