Part 3/5:
A key point here is the importance of consistent pressure and patience; the craftsperson slowly twists the die around the bolt, checking frequently for even threading. The use of oil helps lubricate the process, reducing friction and prolonging tool life.
The Finishing Touches
As the threading progresses, the craftsman verifies that the threads are uniform and clean. He mentions using an acorn nut—likely as a test or as part of the final assembly—and notes the length of the nut, which is 14 1/2 inches, indicating the size and reach for the application.
The narrative also highlights the importance of checking that threads are not crooked, ensuring a proper fit and function in their intended assembly.
