bsiler Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Made some strap hinges the other day. I bought lag bolts and cut the heads off for pintels. I don't think I've read or heard about putting wood threads on something. How do you do it? Thank You Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder19 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The way it would be done today is with a lathe, but I don't know if there is a method that used to be done before lathes came into existence other than maybe a thread cutting die. welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecelticforge Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I know that a a decent wood working store such as highland hardware in Atlanta you can purchase taps and dies for making wood lead screws. I saw them used in WV quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Next time you are in Atlanta, if you could take a look at the packaging of those dies and share with us the following information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. - Brand name - Manufacturer - Manufacturer's item, part, and/or order number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsiler Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks, You all have answered my question. I guess thats why about all pintels you see were made to be driven in. Thanks for the quick replies, Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
