You say your attempt did you ever use it in anger if so how did the thread hold up.

The one i got is 3/4" think i got it from Toolpost but was some time ago, Maybe the 1inch would be better for some things but I found mine fine It's best if you can to use Hardwood but it does work with other but you need to use plenty of CA on the Threads and let it dry so you can go over the threads a few times or they can crumble a bit/may be a prob with short grain wood! Would like to know more about your Xmas idea!

Hope that helps!:thinks:
