Thank you for sharing. I learn tons of things from your videos. I like the slow pace full of details.

That is genius!!!

[vincent7520]

I dunno. I'm only asking !…

You should add some nerve to your video : talk faster, be more specific, jump from one step to the othe instead of showing each step as a long process… and please ! please : when you show something doing on, show it !!!… don't block the camera view : we see you working but the piece you're working on hides what you're doing … so we guess, 10 minutes or so of guessing is long, very long …

Otherwise your project is great and very valuable.

why most of wood working people are slow ???…

@vincent7520 what do you mean slow?

[LuiNJae]

Good Work! I would like to see how you made the cutter(file)

What is the angle on that metal plate?

[MrCartersAccount]

@aDotFromTheFuture It depends on the diameter of your screw and the number of teeth per inch. It can be a lengthy and confusing answer which I will adress in one of my next videos in the Tap and Screw Jig Tutorial series.

I'm planning on doing this project this weekend. I've looked at buying vices with wooden construction like yours and they are in excess of $150. I'm sure I can make one for less than $75. The one thing I'm not quite sure of is this: I have a 2" Hardwood Dowel. That's the overall diameter. Does this mean my nut will need to be a 1/16 or so smaller (inside diameter) so the threads will catch?

[MrCartersAccount]

@RPPerry1984 It depends on the thread pattern you use. If you are doing 2 tpi you will need a hole 1 1/2" in diameter. If you watch my video titled Tap and Screw Jig Tutorial - Part One you may understand better.

love your videos, love the finished work bench. Have small question how was the kerf in the dowel cut for the dowel to run along the metal guide? thanks so much for posting.

[MrCartersAccount]

@TurBoSetting I just use a handsaw with a kerf the same width as the thickness of the metal plate in the guide. To make the cuts I mount the dowel on the lathe just to hold the work. If you have a tail vise you can make long bench dogs with a screw through the top of each one and clamp the dowel like that while you cut the kerf.

@MrCartersAccount

Thanks thought of something similar to that using a hacksaw the other was to do it on router table. Thank you so much for sharing your acquired knowledge. Keep up the good work.

Also loved the shape of the chess pieces you made great lathe, be good to see more of your work.

Cheers.

Great video and great channel. I also made lots of my tools, and I really enjoyed watching your work.
