ieezitin,
Thanks. I've enjoyed his whole series on machining, in fact watching him and Myfordboy's videos is what got me
interested in the first place.
Russ,
Thanks for the links, much appreciated.
Tom,
I really look forward to your upcoming tutorial.
All,
I went ahead and gave it a shot Sunday. Here's the results.
I took Tom's advise (I had seen this done in numerous video's but had forgotten about it) and did a scratch run first just to
check the TPI count. It was dead on at 16.
I also took ieezitin's advice and once I got close but the nut wouldn't quite fit, I ran a die down it to bring it to final size.
Cheating maybe but I wanted this first try to succeed.
Anyway as the saying goes, pics or it didn't happen.

If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
