I have requests for showing how I thread the bolt and nuts in the TP Dispenser Post.

It is the same way that you thread metal rods,and tap metal plate for bolts.
I use Slipit for a lubrication so as to not tear out the threads. Here I show an oak dowel and maple nuts.

I use Slipit on drawers rails, drawer slides, and any wood that needs to slide.

Lee Valley sells the new Beal system that uses a router:

The Beall Tool Company

Also the one like mine can be bought at Garret Wade:

LOL, John, I have done a lot of that in metal.

Forgot to mention that the hole in the nuts has to be 1/16 smaller than the dowel, for some reason.:grin:

That would probably be to make up for the thread depth.
