I've been making a vice completely out of wood but i've hit a wee stumbling block, i used a metal bolt to tighten and loosend the vice but i wan't to use a wooden bolt instead.
I drilled the hole for the the bolt with a bowdrill and carved a wooden bolt but the bolt won't bite in the hole to make it's own thread.
Would an oak bolt form a thread if screwed into pine if i made a pilot hole with a bowdrill? if not would bone? and is bone easy to carve?
