Mac or any other Turners

There is a thread cutting attachment for the wood lathe that makes
prescision threads in almost anything. DIY Wood turning had a program
showing how it works. The commercial ones are fairly pricey, but
someone handy with a welder and lathe could build one.

I'm not a turner.

There _are_ 'tap and die' sets that are made for cutting threads in wooden
pieces, however.

We've been having a very interesting email discussion about his "thread chasing"
skills..

I think you can also cheat and buy inserts from places like Lee Valley?

You might want to try posting this question on "rec.crafts.woodturning".
Ping Fred Holder, he's a regular there. He's written at least one
book on the subject. See:
