Making self-made handtools for turning big sized wooden threads for the vise of my new Roubo-workbench: a dowel maker, a tap and a die, also called screw-box. This is Part II and shows how i made my TAP. Since i started to build my own workbench i have been wondering what threads to use for the vise. And as more i have been looking for the right one as more it has been burning to make them by myself - out of wood. And as more i felt comfortable with this idea, as more it has been tickling me to also make all the needed tools just by myself.
To be honest, it has not been the easiest project. And it has been keeping me aktiv for quite a while. Time, i have been enjoying i my small basement workshop and outdoors. There was a lot of opportunity to learn new things!
I apologize for the bad light and some not so good taken views. It is bit dark there down and quite narrow, but i did my best. I also want to remind, that it is the first time i have made these kind of tools. So not everything has gone perfect, i also made some mistakes. That´s the way we learn, and that´s the way i want to share this project with you.
In my next video i´ll show you how i build the die / screw-box and later on how they perform in a team. Please give me few days to upload them.
If you have questions, please feel free to use the comment-function.
Enjoy the video, i hope it will be somehow useful to you and inspire you for your own projects.
