You will have to do a quick re-thread after the glue is dried as the glue tends to raise the fibers a bit.
Try it, works great…
Ther goes un update!!! Or shuld i said what not to do!
I tried to make a blade from an old spade bit and i didn’t work.
The blade must be in a “V” shape.
The soft wood was only for the experiment.Round 1 – down
Preparing for round 2 – read more stuff about “blacksmith”

@ant11samagaio I believe if you watch the above video again Roy says that the threads are cut with a 60 degree angle. That’s why he is using a saw file to shape the cutter in the video … saw file already has the correct angle.Yes, your’re wrigth!
I did it with a equilateral file but it was to big for the screw threads.
So i improvise…. in the wrong way.I need to get a smaller one and make that 60 degree angle in a nice “V” shape.
Also need to get steel with better carbon. like Roy showed!Thanks for the reminder!
Update to my “nut cracker” and thread cutting….
It’s just for a laugh!
I fund that all the metal pieces i was using were from a inferior type of iron. Never the less, when i overcome my frustrations, i was able to laugh of my self.Someone said “your next tool will be better…”
Any way, i overcame the situation with a little imagination.
And i believe it’s a very original design for a “nut cracker” that I’m offering to you all!It works very good! Lets get smiling….
