2 1/2" Wooden Screws and Nut for Twinscrew Bench vice

Those are some sweet looking threads, AJ!! I’d love to see how you did that…

A great job on the threads.

I can see how you make the screw… but how do you carve the “nut” part for the vice?

Very cool. Are you interested in posting a ‘how to’ on wooden threads, looks very interesting.

thanks,

Ditto on the how-to for wooden threads. Nice work.

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…

Please explain how you cut the threads on the screw.

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!

Pretty cool, I’m planning on doing something like this. Did you use carving chisles like a V cutter or did you carve it with a knife?
