Hand carved 2.5" wooden screw and nut for twinscrew bench vice. 7 different types of lumber and 5 stones used in the construction of this unit. Custom workbench still in progress, vice is operational and very useful.
Thanks for the comments on my screw job!! ;-) It started off on the laythe, to make round. next layed out thred pattern down length of shaft. Ruff cut with chopsaw, cleaned up with hand chisle. The nut was a tricky part. The secret is you have to cut your nuts in half, and carve them out by hand to fit your threds. and then screw the nut back together. Next time I make one, I'll take pics and post more info.
nice job on the threads… I would guess you would have to be very accurate with them to ensure they not only functioned, but did not have any sloppy play in them… looks pretty cool…
Mike my sisters dentures are so well worn and sharpened to 60deg she can take a lump of lumber in her mouth pass it through and thread it all in one go!Alistair
That is great!!! I'll bet that it is one of the few working threads that have been hand carved. I haven't heard of that . You can turn on the lathe, or use a thread box. Excellent work!
