Making a big tap to thread a nut ----- just for fun 

More wonderful work!

Cool nut, I think it's time to let that imagination soar and come up with a cool art piece( that you can turn into some cash). Love your past creations and look forward to more. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for sharing Gao. Pretty neat. Happy holidays.

Curiosity, could you have poured epoxy with the bolt in it to achieve a functional nut? Either way it’s still work to achieve a beautiful finished product, just curious if the epoxy would adhere to the bolt and render it non-functional. I’m not a user of epoxy, a lathe, or anything in your craft. My craft is currently in leather, acrylic paint and soaps. I just enjoy seeing what others are doing, so I wouldn’t know about adherence to metals. It definitely adheres to some products more readily than others-Zametti, many others show tons of experimental uses with epoxy, I just don’t recall encountering that combo. Ty!
