My son wants to make a neckerchief slide on the lathe and mill.
Tried googling and didn't find any designs.
Anyone have any good ideas?
A simple one might be a large hole in a piece of hex so it looks like a nut, or maybe one that has a hex on top and outside threads so it looks like a bolt.

Re: neckerchief slide
Try BSA neckerchief slide; there should be bunch out there. I have 50+ patterns but most are intended for carving unless you want to do a 3D program for a CNC, which is probably not your intent.
Re: neckerchief slide
Russ has it right, most of them were to be carved with a few tools and parts. However, this one was my favorite and could be made on a mill. Adding a couple of blade tensioner handles might add lathe parts, too. It is essentially a frame saw.

Re: neckerchief slide
Thanks for another pattern I did not have!
For a lathe project, take a slug of aluminum, cut some ring grooves and drill a wrist pin hole and you have a piston. Use wood and turn a few contours and make a keg or barrel.
I found that most patterns came from common objects - look around the shop and garage and see what catches your eye.

Re: neckerchief slide
I thought of making a big bolt.
Metal might be too heavy, but I could make it out of plastic and sleeve it with a metal tube epoxied in to give it extra strength.
I could even make a matching nut.
A keg might be good for one of the dads, but I might get a few off looks if I put on a scout that says "Budweiser".

Re: neckerchief slide
what about making it out of wood anyway? A good hard wood. I thought of a very coarse thread on the OD might look OK with a heavy chamfer.
