There is a number of ways to make it but in all cases they split in to two.

VE3UK which puzzle are you refering to? the captive nut? effectively it is just a rod that you can unscrew.

Would if I had kids :P Loooong way off that. Thanks though.
I had to have a few goes at the threading, because you can't "test the nut", which brings me to a point:
Is there a chart to say how much infeed you have to put in for standard metric threads?
Was a fun little project. :)
Hi Gareth,I have just join this forum, very interetinf forum, if I might say so.  This might be too late for you, The book Screwcutting in the lathe by Martin Cleeve page 12 you have all the table you need. I hope this works for you.
