en zo is het! :-)

Whooee....that thread cutter is nice but more expensive than my first car! Maybe a Christmas present from someone who loves me very much?

[@TheOtherGuybo]

Love the interaction between you and your wife. Great mix of video and music. Thanks for your videos. I am learning lots.

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Guy, I also love the interaction between me and my wife. I wish she could film as well as Lies! :-)

Its quite refreshing to watch you turn without a face mask or a faceshield. Great video. Just bought a threader..

Make some nice boxes with it! Good luck!

Thanks for explaining things as you go. Most of the Yankees that do wood turning feel the need to talk an hour for every thirty seconds of work they do. I love watching both you and Ashley Harwood. You both just get the work done.

Well... you have my number... 😀

[@robohippy]

I thought that was one of the Chefware kit threading jigs, but looks like one you make yourself. I think I like your pop up better than the pivot. I am surprised when people make threaded boxes this big, especially in side/bowl grain. I took some threaded boxes from humid Oregon to central California, and some in the 1 1/2 inch diameter size would still open, but barely. I would expect wood movement to make that one move too much for threads to work.... I do love the quarter sawn plane/sycamore trees. Beautiful medullary rays in it!

[@ronaldkanne]

Thank you Robohippy. When you make threads you always have to add a little play. Also I used a fairly coarse thread to alow that play in crossgrain wood... but you have experienced that already...🙂

[@ronaldkanne]

Oh... and btw... the threading jig i used is made by Simon Hope...

[@petera.7204]

[@trevorhuntley8093]

Excellent piece Ronald beautiful wood, I’m interested to know why you used 3.5mm pitch thread?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Trevor, the 3,5 pitch spindle was in the jig... That is why :-). But also for explaining I thought it was good to use a big pitch. I also have a 16 TPI and a 10 TPI spindle. If not for the video I would have chosen a 10 TPI iI think... Does that answer your question?

[@trevorhuntley8093]

@@ronaldkanne Yes, thank you

Great woork love it watching ,what kind of wax did you use please it looks amazing thanks

[@ronaldkanne]

Thank you Joey, the wax i used here was Woodwax 22 from Chestnut...

[@woodbutcherjc]

Nice work. Could you vacuum chuck it to take the bottom off?

[@ronaldkanne]

Sure you can!

[@kimspur]

You made a side-grain box, Ronald. I have almost the same jig, and having serius trouble with threading a long grain box. The thread simply breaks, even with CA-glue. Have no problems with side-grain boxes. Could you demonstrate theading in a long-grain box ?

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Kimspur, I will... one day... I can only guess what is going wrong of course... My first thought is make sure that the cutter is sharp, dense wood, light cuts... I'd say can't go wrong... :-)

[@lesterhall6347]

this a great video on box making. I would like to know where a person in the US can buy the Simon Hope Jig ? I have yet to find a source

[@ronaldkanne]

HI lester, I think Simon doesn't sell in the USA, but i'm sure there are other manufacterers making something like it that you'll like...

[@ukcarver]

What happens to the fit of the lid when the wood moves after the wood drying out or the movement of the wood tension.

[@ronaldkanne]

The wood was dry when I made the box. That is important of course. Still, when the wood is completely dry it also will move a bit. So you have to count with that when you cut the thread... don't make it too tight...

[@davidbuchan2224]

Hi Ronald. So firstly thank you for allowing me into your family life for a very relaxing, enjoyable and informative 45 minutes. I am a beginner and have so many questions... but I will just ask one. As a beginner should I learn to thread chase before buying Simon's 'cheating' machine? It looks like some good (Crown or Sorby) thread chasers (16tpi) are going to cost around £150. Simons 'Complete Thread Kit' is an eye watering £495 - or around £350 if you didn't get all the bells and whistles. So... for a weekend turner who is fascinated by box making - learn to chase the thread or just dive in with the Ferrari? Also Ronald - On Simons demo of his thread jig he leaves his piece on the lathe and has his cutter is on the jig? The opposite to you? Why? Anyway, if you have time for an opinion on this (I sort of feel the same about chisels versus carbide cutters... but am sticking with chisels for the moment) I would be grateful. Thank you again.

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi David. If make boxes for fun xhoose for hand chasing. It is more difficult but once you get the hang of it it is much more fun, almost Zen to do.. althought there are some limitations (grain direction, wood type)... in my webshop i have the thread chasers from Jan Hovens. He knows what he is talking about and that shows in his thread chasers. The cost € 75,-/set. I think you are mistaken when you say that i do it the other way around then Simon... Grtz Ronald

[@davidbuchan2224]

@@ronaldkanne You are completely right... you both do it the same way! In my defence we have had a pandemic, there's a small Russian psycho on the loose and the world generally seems f**ked... all of which I am blaming for my poor memory. I am heading to your website now! Thank you for your advice.

[@davidbuchan2224]

@@ronaldkanne Sorry Ronald... what pitch would you recommend for a beginner - probably doing boxes of a similar (or smaller) size to your video. I need a relief scraper? And a hook tool?

[@ronaldkanne]

@@davidbuchan2224 i'd suggest 16 tpi for a start. Bigger teeth is way more difficult to start. A relief scraper you do need. But you can make it yourself also, and you only use it for 2 seconds... i never use the hook tool. Jan does, me never. It goes very well without...

[@denniswee1785]

Hallo @Ronald. Geweldige filmpjes! Ben net begonnen met draaien en dit is erg leerzaam. Welke olie of wax smeer erop voordat je woodwax 22 erop doet? En is het niet mogelijk om met de beitels er schroefdraad in te zetten? Bedankt!!

[@ronaldkanne]

Hoi Dennis, sorry voor mijn trage reactie. Zeker, dit kan ook met beitels. Schroefdraadstrelers noemen we ze. Het voordeel van zo'n freesje is dat het in praktisch alle houtsoorten kan. Bij strelen is dat wat lastiger. Strelers echter zijn wel weer veel goedkoper...

[@denniswee1785]

@@ronaldkanne geeft niks! Inmiddels meerdere filmpjes van je gezien en ook waar die strelers gebruikt. Geweldige techniek!

[@kaleygoode1681]

Modern threads (on pill-bottles, for example) have 3 or 4 parallel threads, so that only a quarter turn will tightly fit the lid... Is there a way to achieve this with a jig like yours in wood? I'm asking because I have a very old similar ebony box with 3 threads and no idea how to do it!

[@ronaldkanne]

Hi Kaley, if you turn a lid a quarter turn it has 4 thread "entrances". If you use this tool, you make 1 entrance. So at least 1 turn must be made... hope that answers your question?

[@kaleygoode1681]

@@ronaldkanne I think so, so to cut 4 threads needs 4 cuts each having 4x the pitch... I must look into how the pitch is varied... and find a trick to get accurate quarter turn for the entries! I like a challenge...

Es funktioniert besser, wenn sich der Fräser und das Holz in entgegengesetzte Richtungen drehen. Genau wie bei einem Router. Dann schieben Sie das Holz auch gegen die Drehrichtung des Fräsers ...
