BRAVO to you DAD. Your skills at fine woodworking is also very, very good but I'm more impressed with the way you treat your daughters and they seem to love working with you and THAT is worth more then anything you could ever make in your shop with wood.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

James and family, I don't know how I missed this video of yours but I'm glad I found it. I was watching others make wooden screws and none of them came out looking like yours and I suspect it has to do with your dye. I tried to find the set you are using and it wasn't the same as the link above. Your threads came out crisper looking than those made on the set found in your link. They actual look like metal bolts except yours are beautiful and the maple you used was perfect knots and all! Thanks again King's!! ~Dolly

[@Colorado-Tinkering]

Brilliant, also. This greatly added to my knowledge base of wood possibilities. My family used to own Black Forest (Germany) made cabinets that were assembled with wood bolts and nuts (eat your heart out, IKEA) and as a child I often admired the technology.

[@kurtfattig9370]

Great tip with the mineral oil - you basically turned dried wood into fresh cut (wet) wood again - which is much easier to chisel (or any cutting operation). I used to use glycerine to help prevent splintering and tearout when I bent wood over forms. I don't recall that it discolored the wood as much as the mineral oil seems to, but it's been 25+ years ago now.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Interesting! I wonder if glycerine penetrates as deeply with it's higher viscosity? I'll have to give that a try one day!

[@kurtfattig9370]

@@KingsFineWoodworking I was always using it for small laminations for experimental hobby aircraft (and other long broken toys) - and it seemed to penetrate at least deep enough to prevent the surface splintering. I like the mineral oil technique - and you're essentially replacing the air with mineral oil - much like stabilizing wood with resin in a vacuum chamber - only slower. I bet the vacuum process would work too. I really enjoy the videos - you are a great teacher and I'm definitely a fan of your work - both with the woodworking and the videos. The narration really helps - explaining why you do what you do. I was blown away about the calculations with glue and clamping force. Thanks again for sharing your work and expertise with us!

[@jdog4534]

You get better results laying out a hexagon if you draw a line through center and strike off the radius on each side of both places where line intersects with circle. That way eliminates any slop that usually gets picked up after interpreting the line of the circle within the pencil line it's drawn in and where the grain of the wood lets the point of the compass actually set. This may seem like nonsense but I bet if you actually walk a compass around a circle using it's radius as the spread, the 6th step will be noticeably off of step 0 when it's supposed to land on 0.

[@paulfinnigan3562]

Yes it will be off because he wasn't right saying the radius is 6 times around the circumference. It's actually 6.284 so there will always be an extra bit!

Consider pulling a vacuum on those oil soaking dowels. They'll be done in 15 minutes. You will need to make a stronger container. PVC pipe will probably suffice.

[@phlodel]

Vacuum and pressure works better. I worked for a company that treats wood. They pulled a vacuum in a closed cylinder containing the wood and fluid, then pressurized it. The cylinder was heated, too.

Man that is so good to see that thread on the wood I've just gone and bought my first one and a half inch threading tool not as perhaps as high-quality as the one your using but it's my first attempt so if it works well I'm gonna splash out and buy a larger kit. I think the second thing is it's brilliant to see your kids working in the workshop. I bought my kids up telling them if they can get their hands dirty they'll never be short of money, they can do whatever they want in their careers but first they gotta learn to get their hands dirty because if they careers end they can still do something and make money. We havent any idea what is happening and what the future will bring , jobs that used to last a lifetime and no longer there, so you've got to adapt, be versatile, never be afraid to get your hands dirty and be ready for change, good on you, brilliant video.

[@jasonburch2061]

Mike Teifer you pretty much have to order it shipped from Germany. Chris Schwartz did an article on the cutters.

[@AquariUPS]

Perfect work !!! Very nice video !!! I use a similar preparation of the wood (I 'm an antique pianos restorer..) when further detail shaping is to be done on it but I use e mixture of liquid paraffine, a few drops of oil based varnish and toluol, white spirit, polyurethane solvent, acetone, petrol or other water free solvents (every wood has its preferred cocktail). I preheat (100 C) the wood piece in the oven and the humid air expands and leaves under pressure. Then, the wood absorbs the thinned out paraffine much faster as it cools down when dipped. The heat exchange between wood and solvent, vaporises the last leaving a the lower viscosity, almost waxy, paraffine-varnish mix deeply embedded into the wood which fully stabilises after drying again in the oven (50-60 C max ! ). A colleague uses a (near) vacuum chamber and an electric pump, instead of heat, to make use of the negative air pressure and another one (somewhat...unstable...) uses an armored air-tight metal chamber and...explosives to produce pressure hardened and almost water-proof wood panels while recycling his used engine oil !... I still believe that the heat treatment is the best way to go as It saves time, kills any fungus, mold or mite of the wood, dries it to a more shape-stable status and prevents further shrinking or warping after process, hardens it and protects it from humidity, makes it more blade/chisel-friendly and leaves a fine satin surface which can be varnished (oil based only) or even painted ! It also darkens the natural color a bit and deeply defines the grain which may be desirable in most cases... [Allow me a tiny terminology correction on the math: not the arc length (cycle circumference = 2π radius = 6.28.... r ) but the arc chord length is equal to the radius of the cycle. hexagonal circumference is exactly 6 radius lengths since a symmetrical hexagon can be divided into 6 triangles with all their sides even blah blah blah... ]

What make was your dowel threader, its metal and looks much heavier and more stout than the plastic ones on Amazon and Ebay, also I can't find any kits larger than 1 1/2 inch.

Have to tested to see how much those wood bolt and threads could actually take? Nicely done by the way. Thumbs Up!

Fantastic video my friend 🤙😁 To clarify - when you say use mineral oil, you mean mineral oil not mineral spirits corrects? I wouldn’t normally ask but the oil poured into the tube y’all filled look very thin for mineral oil - is there a specific type of mineral oil or did you thin the oil? Love you videos - you’re one of the professionals on KZbin that I feel really lays out professional information in a clear way that makes it easy for an amateur like me to understand why you’re doing the things you do and how to do them 👍 I’ve learned many things from your videos and they’ve helped me grow as a woodworker immensely!

Amazing, Very good

[@microscheme1222]

congratulations for the work. I loved it. I ask: what type of product do you use to dip the wood inside the transparent tube and for how long is it soaked to make the thread???

[@jeffdamiani4775]

I love trying to make things with wood, I am not a skilled wood worker but I do build things I need like boxes to keep things in and furniture. It's not fancy and exact but it works. Good to know they actually make tools to create the threads, it would be nice to actually make items that are put together with bolts made from wood
