I’ve tried this method out but for the inner nut I used a threaded rod connecting nut cut in half and this gives a shoulder / spigot extension which works better for me, you might want to try this out for yourself
Interesting. I wonder if using a jam nut on the outside with a regular nut on the inside would work as well, but be a bit thinner profile dimension? It’s time to experiment!!
The knurled ones look like brass, which is relatively soft and typically used for electrical connections like speakers and such. He's putting steel nuts together. A completely different animal.
Thread locker does not dry, rather it cures by the lack of oxygen between the threads or components. It is anaerobic. To prove this put a drop of it on a scrap and leave it until the next day. It will still be liquid, and because of this any and all traces of excess should be removed or it will inadvertently be transferred to items you did not wish to lock together later down the road. Red colored or 600 series threadlocker can have their bond broken by the judicious application of heat says the old machine shop teacher.
The cost of a thumb nut versus the cost of a nut pounded into another nut to “make” an alternative thumb nut. Those little brass thumb nuts can get expensive; the only 1/4-20 size I could find was almost $5 per nut.
I have actually been using this for quite a while. I saw that on another channel as well (not the one you mention)
Keep 'em coming
stay safe
Rob, you have a WONDERFUL channel. I love your inexpensive work-arounds. I hate spending what small amount of money that I have.
Never crossed my mind to do this, brilliant idea. I shall be trying this out.
Great channel by the way 👍
May be useful sometime, clever.
Cool tip, Rob!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this.
That’s really useful, Thank You from New Hampshire!
Love your idea
Hey friend I'm going to the shop right now to try this! Awesome
Another goodie Rob, thank you. And I'm still doing the anagrams - thanks for keeping them going.
Brilliant, Rob! Thanks a bunch for the tip! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

This is a game changer. I make MANY jigs, and wish I would have thought years ago. Thank yo7 and keep up the excellent videos.

SWEET!!!

Clever!
Genius
As I mentioned in the bite-size, Pocket83 has been doing this for years. He calls them Nut Knobs.
That is exactly my source as well... the infamous pocket
made so many of his games
using a 'softer' grade OUTER bolt and a 'harder' grade of 'inner' is a good idea ..
After making a 1/4 -20 combo can you then put that into a larger nut to give you even more area to grip?
Hmm.. Very clever. I wonder if the big nut with a big hammer trick would work on rounded off bolts or maybe them pesky anti theft lug nuts?
8:04PM. Are those stainless nuts?
knurled thumb nuts is a good band name
Knurled Nuts is much better. LOL
Put a bunch of the knurled nuts in a plastic baggie and you can call it a knurled nut sack.
@@lourias Light Metal band, no doubt 😉
A 1/4, inside a 1/2, inside a 7/8… Cthurkey
I wonder if this works for metric sizes...
it does 😊
What is the point of this??
