Excellent videos! I appreciate your explanations as you go along.

[@genekatauskas6904]

Man, you got the patience of every woodworker I know. Then some.🔨

[@stefanomorandi7150]

tempering a tool whle cooking dinner = absolute win ahah great craftmanship, well done

[@littleforest]

Yes, id would bee just too sad to heat up the oven just for this little piece of iron. Let´s use energy more efficient :-)

[@ucenicul]

The best trilogy on youtube for wood thread. I think if you had a square piece of steel and only the top was 60 degrees you could set it easier. Congratulations

[@littleforest]

Thank you! Hmm, thats true, its a good idea for next time. Ill keep it in mind!

[@andreicharpentierquesada4530]

So ingenius method. This are the kind of videos that worth to see them all day

I was just thinking the same thing as the typed message at the end of this brilliantly informative video. I wanted to know how to make these threaded wooden rods but it's not easy whatsoever. I'm pretty sure a device has been pattented?? There must be one on the market by now for dummies like me who couldn't build this tool. I think what u have managed to make here is phenomenal my friend and I want to thank you for giving the information out to the public. There'll be lots of folks who will get it and make theirs from ur video. I'm just not one of them right now. I need to hone my skills so much more b4 trying something this tricky. Take care man..

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

Beautiful amazing work.

[@purplehelm8853]

Thank you for your time making this video! I’m going to try this

[@littleforest]

Oh, thats a good idea!Let me know, how it worked out :-)

[@ConfiscatedZyra]

i happened upon this video but i just wanted to say you're very talented. even the video editing is 10/10

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

Thanks for taking the time to video your progress through this tool development. Very interesting and insightful. I’ve heard that some soak the shaft in mineral oil for days before the cutting to make it easier and reduce chip outs. Beautiful work!!

[@littleforest]

I like to use linseedoil. It seems to do a great job too. And it will harden the screw while drying.

[@davorinrusevljan6440]

Annealing and dinner making at the same time :)

[@littleforest]

Just important to not bite into the wrong thing:)

De verdad un maese, con tecnicas medievales, felicitaciones de verdad un trabajo hermoso👍

[@Linrox]

Very impressive for having limited tools available

[@eduardoresiopescaenargentina]

amazing bro!!! thanks

[@MaithriSanitgun]

Very fun to watch, green woodworking, very soulful. My carpenter grandfather born in 1884 was probably a few decades ahead of the technology you demonstrate, impressive. Nice to know if it all went away we could still work wood. Would soaking the wood in oil first help with smooth cutting? Some related videos have dowels soak in boiled linseed oil for as much as a week.

[@littleforest]

Oh yes, hopefully there will always be wood! I did soak the wood in oil before cutting. Linseedoil did a good job. It is worth to give a chance to some trials before starting. Some woods work better than others, some need more oil than others. If i would have been more patient i would have wasted less wood :-)

[@enriquegonzalez2802]

Impressive

[@joseluissacu641]

Interesante.

[@littlecabininthebigwoods5720]

Well done! You must be in a non-united states country since your oven was in Celsius. I’m thinking about my own tap and die and had some similar ideas. I have a smaller screw set that uses the same cutter that can be set more or less aggressive.

[@lourias]

I recently saw a video of a guy who says that the dowel to be cut should be soaked in oil, which is stood up in a cylindrical vessel, until all the air bubbles leave the dowel. By having a thoroughly oil-soaked dowel, the dowel will cut easier, have fewer chip-outs, and a much smother finish when compared to non-soaked dowels. Do any of you have experience with this setup? I invite your opinions.

[@littleforest]

Yes, i also soak the wood in linseedoil before cutting the thread, you can see my methdos in my bench- and thread-making videso. How long depends also much on the wood used. Many experiments lead to a good feeling. I would highly recommend to try different woods too! These days i am experimenting with heat, curious, what will come out :-) Hope i could help...

[@littleforest]

If wood is soaked in oil, it will have similar properties like green wood. With one difference: oil is not drying / evaporating but reacting with oxigen. So the wood will not shrink afterwards. Thats how i would put it into words ..

[@lourias]

@@littleforest That is pretty cool: no shrinkage!!!

[@lourias]

@Hans Wuast according to what I understand, the oil helps to prevent chip-out, makes cutting easier, and provides a smoother finish after the thread cutting. Maybe the oil lubricates the cutting tool and helps with chip clearance, like oil on a metal turning lathe.

[@genardusfaberus6514]

Hi, very interesting aproach and nice video. I´ve seen some does several passes proyecting the blade a little bit each pass instead of all at once.

[@littleforest]

Hey Gernardus! It would be an good idea, but actually it does not work in my case: The ready thread is needed to feed into the screwbox. But for the TAP the blade if put deeper every round, maybe less than one mm.

Eu tenho uma peça dessa, tem mais ou menos uns oitenta anos, foi do meu avô, não sei que nome tem, ele fabricava torno de bancada de madeira. A minha é linda, faz o parafuso e a porca

Olá! Uau, você tem essa ferramenta !? Você tem uma foto disso? Você pode ver em qualquer lugar? Saudações daqui !!

Those thermos's are the best! Until the cap breaks, that is...

[@tbayboater]

Great work. Just a hint; pulling files dulls the teeth. If you only exert pressure on the push stroke and lift the file on the return they will last much longer and be more effective. Keep up the good work.

[@littleforest]

Thanx for the hint :-) I´ll keep it on my mind for next time i work with iron.

[@512banana1]

what kind of steel were you using at 4:05 bro?

[@littleforest]

i do not really know what kind of steel it is. just a piece of profile steel like it is used on construction.

[@ВераАнисимова-ц1р]

Впечатление вашей работой, можно спросить из какой древесины вы делаете этот инструмент

[@littleforest]

изготовлен из древесины березы

[@proto3751]

Ive been trying for about a week to do this step. I dont quite understand the steps involved with assembly of the box. Im a little confused how to put the guide blades in at the correct angle feed the rod.

[@littleforest]

Oh, that sounds familiar. It took me the whole winter to make these tools - and winters are long up here. A good teacher of patience i guess.

[@louistodd4857]

Do you sell the screwbox set?

[@littleforest]

I have not thought about it yet. But, i offer some ready screws for workbenches or similar if you are interested.

[@gm3087]

If I'm wrong, correct me: but did you use just a piece of angle-iron/construction steel for the blade? If so: hardening the way you did will not work. Carbon content in ordinary construction steel is to low to achieve hardening. You will need indeed an old file like you mentioned, or a piece of other highcarbon tool-steel. And that would also first has to be anealed before you will be able to cut it... Anyway: nice build and good luck.

[@littleforest]

Your right. I have learned and in my updated tool i used an old file which keeps the edge longer. Anyways, thanks for the comment!

Good Evening Sir, I want a wooden die to be made how do I reach you please 🙏. This is Valliappan from Chennai

[@littleforest]

Hello Valliappan :-) Did you find my Etsy-shop? The link is mentioned on my youtube channel or under the video you have watched. There, you'll find some screws actually on sale. If you need something different / special, just write me a mail through this shop. Best regards from cold Finland!

[@helpmaboab7]

There is a lot of useful craftsmanship here. However, your cutter seems to be made from Mild Steel channel section. Mild steel cannot be hardened and tempered since it does not contain sufficient carbon.

[@littleforest]

I thought the same but tried it, and it worked out. Can´t use a file on the blade, so i asume, that the hardening did well... Testing goes above studying :-)

[@MrErViLi]

Link to the first 2 parts?

[@architect_bulkov]

the cutter is made of plasticine.

[@littleforest]

What is plasticine??

[@architect_bulkov]

@@littleforest means very soft metal

[@littleforest]

Yes, that is true. A old file would have been the best, but i did not have one available. So i used what i had. Also the vikings did not have any good quality metal. And still they made great things out of what they had ;-)

travail très instructif,dommage qu'il y est si peu d'explication,il faut tout deviner..

Bonjour Philippe. A mon avis, le don d'observation est une qualité extrêmement importante d'un bon artisan. Ca donne de la place pour des propres pensées, idées et interprétations. Quand pensez vous?

@@littleforest certains voient le verre à moitié vide,d'autre le verre à moitié plein,les écarts sont très minces entre l'observation,l'interprétation et l'art divinatoire,entre regarder une personne réaliser un projet et nous l'expliquer aussi.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

All that "by hand" stuff and then DRILL PRESS. lol, I don't know why you don't own more power tools. Why is there so much disdain for them among the woodworking community?

[@vcstudio4946]

Power tools are expensive, you can get a hand plane for like, 7 or 10 bucks antique, while a thickness planer of decent quality can go up to 500 bucks. The same for a bandsaw, also, some prefer hand tools because they're less noisy, it's not always an option to have more than a sander and a drill

[@chrisgriffith1573]

@@vcstudio4946 Only 500? You are still looking at a low quality machine... but then, Mine is 750$ on sale, and worth every penny. You keep your high maintenance hand planer, I'll run 300 boards before I have to open mine up and change the blades, and you'll still be on #15.
