Hello from Slovenia

[Tilen Thaler]

I am an engineer. I came here to learn from good people and in return I would like to offer you my plans for some homemade tools. This is an example of a kant twist clamp based on an expired US patent:



It may come in handy sometimes on a farm.

Welcome Tilen!
I have used clamps like that in the past. Does your screw use ACME threads or something else?

 

[Tilen Thaler]

Metric. It doesn't matter which thread you use. The best would be trapezoidal in my opinion, if you have the tool to produce. But usually not many people have trapezoidal tapping screws.

 

[SheepDog]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. ACME thread has a trapezoidal profile and is used for a lot of machinery especially if you use zero clearance half-nuts for adjustments.
I have a lathe so I can cut just about any thread I want. My tooling is all I have left of my business that I had to sell when I was disabled.
I'm getting better and my tools are still used so it is all good. My son stopped by yesterday to have a couple pair of brass handles made for his wife's marble rolling pins.
I had to free hand the curved surfaces on the lathe. After finishing they looked great and replaced the wood handles nicely. I will get a KETO chocolate pie out of the deal.

I have used those type clamps at a past job. I had forgot about them, but a handy as they were I need to get a few in various sizes.

Hi and welcome!

Welcome!!!

@SheepDog have you posted the recipe for the keto chocolate pie? Because I'm gonna need that. My favorite is blueberry pie but pretty hard to make that keto.

 

[SheepDog]

No, My daughter in law makes that pie. I can try to get the recipe from her if you want it.

Sounds delicious.

Welcome, Tilen, from Vermont. Is Slovenia the state with the capital named Brno? If so, I once owned a pistol made nearby.

Well shucks, Brno ain't even in Slovenia. Ljubjana is the capitol - see, I looked it up.
