Barrel threading, how to do it?

Hi ya,

That's the thing...it's the learning curve and the inevitable cock-ups in between that can frustrate, isn't it?...I'm guessing most engineering folk will have scratched their heads on their first few attempts at single point screwcutting?

I am not an engineer...The equipment I use is ancient - how many proper engineering folk have used a 100 year old treadle lathe?...not many I'll wager)...still happy to have a crack though, even if it usually means whittling a barrel down shorter and shorter and shorter...
