- You can find the step-by-step woodworking plans to make these Threaded-Lid Canisters and Shop-Made Threading Jig here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/s...
When it comes to cutting threads in wood, there are a variety of pre-made threading kits available to purchase. Most of them are pricey and don’t offer a way to make large threads. This shop-made system offers cost savings and the ability to create large threads like the ones found in these canisters. The jig is a little like a lathe inside out. Attached to one end of the base is a router that’s held in place by a carriage. Opposite the router is a platen carriage that’s made up of two halves. These halves close around a length of Acme threaded rod. Epoxied to the end of the threaded rod is a platen. You’ll do all the thread cutting - internal and external - with your parts attached to this platen. Once the platen assembly is locked into the carriage, it’s slowly rotated by hand into the spinning router bit.

No kidding that was great. Thankyou.
I can't wait to try this. I understand the thread depths. It's actually quite clear.
:)
By far this is one of the most interesting videos from the fine people at Woodsmith, and I loved that you showed how to make this without using a lathe, which I don't own.
Thanks!
That jig is brilliant!
For all the drummers out there, this is pretty much the same method you use to make a custom drum shell. Add a step for rounding the inside of the drum.
I made a snare drum with this method and it sounds amazing!
Great idea!
Nice project! Ingenious way to cut threads, Although that jig is quite complicated for such a highly specialized use.
Also, you mentioned the slight angle on the acme threads and the router bit but you didn't show either.
Yeah I noticed that too
Превосходная работа!👍👏
Very cool!
Thanks!
I haha no bandsaw only turner & bench drill machine 😊
Sangat kreatif kawanku 👍
Nice
Wow! I tried to watch this, but kept thinking how much easier this project would be with a wood lathe. With a router, this is way beyond my skill set. With a lathe, piece of cake. But thanks for demonstrating another way to skin the proverbial cat ; )
I too was thinking a lathe. Turn both inside and outside. That jig as a lot of complexity.
I'd worry about tearout on those bevel joints on the outside. I'd probably start with a handplane to round them a bit first.
Yeah, a hand plane would definitely be able to take off a lot of the material pretty quickly. 👍
Wow
Awesome project!
How did you measure & set the router angle for threading?
Is this and other details (like how to attach workpieces to the platen) in the plans?
Yeah, there are a lot more specifics with angles snd dimensions in the plans.
This is a neat idea, though be careful with that cutter. It is designed for spinning in the low 100s rpm, so you'll get burning in the wood and shorter tool life. A carbide thread milling cutter would be best for this operation, but those can get pricey! An alternative would be to use a t-slot router bit.
Shouldn't the threaded plug's grain be orientated in the same direction as the top since they are glued together? If not, cross grains could cause cracking (?).
I don’t know how much it will matter on such a small workpiece, but I would tend to agree with you that keeping the grain on the two layers parallel would probably be best practice.
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I would think the opposite, like plywood, that the opposing grain would hold each other, preventing expansion or contraction (though you appeared to use very little glue in this example). Plywood of course has an odd number of veneers so that outer layers of veneer are going the same direction and the sheet is more balanced.
A link to a source for that double-bevel router bit would be helpful.

Another alternative to the threaded rod mounting system with the piece of dowel and the captured wooden blocks would be to actually mount two appropriately sized nuts in the wooden block risers.
A 1” x 5 Acme threaded rod is very expensive - $132 on Amazon Is there a reasonable substitute?
Many big box stores have a small selection of threaded rod. 1"-8, 3/4"-10, 1/2"-13 are common "bolt" sizes in the US. Ebay is another good alternative.
We used 1”x6-36” threaded acme rod from McMaster-Carr item# 98935A862 $21.80 www.mcmaster.com/catalog/127/3435
