    Hi Everyone I'm happymonkey.
    I love everything about woodcraft, I have a wood lathe for woodturning, a couple of carving tools and a pyrography tool.
    I love everything about making your own tools but have not made many.
    I built me own wood threading cutting tool with the help of my local mens shed to cut extremal threads on a dowel for the thread size of my lathe which is 1.1/4" x 8tpi as I could not buy one myself, I could only find a threading tap for that size.

    I want to eventually build a threading jig and a ball turning jig for different sizes of turned boxes.
    Other than that I will have to see.

    Thanks Tim

    Hi Tim - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Sounds like you are having some fun. Post some pics of that thread cutting tool if you have any; I'm sure people would like to take a look!
