Old one’s thread has given up. Nicked a new one from work in white as it is almost identical. Didn’t want to unceremoniously ditch the old one, it did a great job for many years and saw many events, so here’s a post to celebrate it. Thank you old faithful, long live the new faithful!
We used to have workshops in the university that could, among other things, add threads to anything. When those dudes retired they just shut them down. It’s easier to buy off-the-shelf stuff now or let students figure it out.
There’s a great recent smartereveryday clip about manufacturing in the US that goes into great deal about the bottlenecks of manufacturing even small threaded components.

I was not a fan of this guy before this video (he gave off southern white christian church vibes, and I stereotyped him into a group I dont like)
