Jar Threads

[Captain Eddie]

A few years back I found a threaded insert for small jars. It was gold colored, about 1.5" in diameter. You created a tendon in the top and base for it to fit in. Question. Where did I get this? Where are they available. I want to make a top for my walking stick to hold critical medications. Wooden threads won't do in this case.

I'm guessing you might be talking about an item sold in three sizes by Lee Valley Tools. Here's the address of the page I found them on:

Take a look.

I bought some a very long time ago. It was either Lee Valley or Craft Supplies because those were the only places I bought from back then.

Thank you woodturners. The lee Valley link was the right one. This is where the right answers are. All you have to do is ask the right questions.
