In this video, I explain one of the most important parts of hand chasing threads - sizing the male tenon correctly. We test the Sorby Threading & Sizing Gauge to see if it is useful or not.
We’ll cover:
• Why you should cut female threads first
• How to size the tenon when using a jig or hand thread chasing and yes there is a difference!
• Explain the difference between theory and real life on sizing the tenon
• How to sneak up on the perfect fit
