Hi Mark - yes, it's my own design. I started with brass bar and turned and drilled on my metal lathe to produce what you see in the photos. This thread started as a follow up to this one by InkyFingers relating to taps and dies, in that thread I mentioned that yes, these are all just standard single-start taps and dies. I don't (yet) have the money or the incentive to invest in triple-start stuff. Bear in mind that the only thread you might want to be a multi-start one is the Cap-to-Barrel. Section-to-barrel really has no need to be multi-start.
