In this video I show the process I go through to make wooden nuts. I explain how to use the tap and some details about it.

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

[MrCartersAccount]

@vincent7520 what do you mean slow?

[aDotFromTheFuture]

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.

@learnerlearns thank you to remind me that courtesy is of the utmost importance on this medium … as we only exchange words.

I didn't intend to say that his work was not worth paying attention. On the contrary : may be that's why I showed my frustration somewhat too harshly.

A for the "likes" (and others "too much" and "awesomes") … may be we should share our views about inadequate use of words : in my country, France, it reached a staggering point of no return. Oh well … ;)

I see... you are critiquing the videography. Well, that certainly is pertinent in this fast paced world. Efficient communication ( not boring ) is a special skill unto itself. I'm sure if this man decided to polish his video-making, he could do that too. Perhaps a kind note to him with helpful suggestions would inspire some improvement. Until then, I am happy just to see a young person who doesn't say "like" every three words! ;-)

[vincent7520]

@learnerlearns sure

I can understand that.

But slow to the viewer : that's why we need people who know how to put these things on video : give us the feeling of thoughtfulness, carefulness, accuracy … without being boring. And show us the details : most of the action is hidden by the worker's body !!!…

[learnerlearns]

Excellent work Sir! Good video. Nice demonstration.

Best of Luck with your project!

@vincent7520

Not "slow." Deliberate. Thoughtful. Careful. Accurate.

[deezynar]

Very cool. Just like Roy Underhill wrote about.

[par5endos562]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[saiyoot007]

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

[ShortyzProductionz]

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.
