    I'm a simple man. I see a Swedish Maker video, I watch and like. Edit: MORE COW CAMEOS! I'm so jealous you have cows. I love cows.
  • For your first design, try chamfering the end of the dowel before trying to jam it into the newly formed threads. This should provide a ramping start-of-cut and may help with the self-alignment
  • @Dragonited
    They didn't have special machines or tools when they made those old woodworking benches. They drew on a spiral on the dowel, sawed a kerf along that line and then used rasps and files to form the threads.
  • @warpedfusion
    "I bet Jesus could do this with hand tools..." What a great line! 😂
  • I think the cows were looking blank because you were speaking to them in English 😂 great video.
  • @MrNatural451
    Don't sweat the cows. They sound much better in the background than sirens and g_nfire. I love your life, too!

    I would say to 3d print a section of the final threaded dowel that you can mount on the front end of the dowel. Then you could use that to get it started through your original jig and then once the bit starts cutting the threads, that's what will pull the dowel along as you twist it. Not all that different from your idea just with the advantage of having to print a shorter section and not needing to reposition the or print a really long thread like you did. But goo perserverance in hammering out the problem.
  • Perseverance is the final take of this video, and this is what you have with every video you do. You do not give up and neither should we.
  • My favourite part was calling all the female cows with udders him. The thread prototyping came in a close second, great video
  • @fladder1
    Replace the cows with cats, the entire internet will love you for it!
  • @No1projects
    Really enjoyed the light hearted approach to this vid 🙂 And really looking forward to the next new workshop update 👍
  • That's genius! My first conclusion to modifying custom threads was to model and spiralize them. But you found a more elegant solution. Also I really like that you haven't given up and found an ingenious way to solve the problem.
  • Great to see your rethinking the problem and coming with a different solution. This is literally thinking from the inside to outside the box (threadwise)
  • @worstworkshop
    This is the most brilliant video I've seen in a while. The project, the story, the everything.
  • As someone playing a bit with wood and 3D printing and trying to get back to 3D moddeling, I can tell you that you perseverance is worthy of respect. I totally understand the frustration of going back and work on new iterations but I'm certainly not as good as you haha, well done!
  • @MScott2273
    Please have cows in every video from now on.
  • @jimrosson6702
    Great video as always love watching how you keep trying and trying until you always get it. Never give up. Thanks for sharing
  • @iPrint3D
    Push all thread faces/planes 0.2mm inward. Don't just "scale" the entire thing.
  • Your production value has really increased as of late! I really enjoy being able to see more of your personality in your videos, in addition to your creativity and problem solving. Great content! Keep it up!
