Re: "Catherine", a USA "Sweet Pea" engine build

Hi Ben,

How did you thread the piston rod? Did use a die, or cut them with a lathe tool? I haven't cut threads on my lathe yet, but I think it's about time to learn. I can't seem to get nice square threads with a die, even when using a threading fixture.

I've ordered from them within the last two months and had no issue. I plan on placing another order with them soon.
