Hello crew; I hope all are well.
My son sent me this "gadget" that you really must see; it is VERY interesting from a machinist's standpoint:
First take a look at what I'm talking about on the link directly below...(there is no audio).
Bolt with thread in both directions - GIF on Imgur
I think we all know what's going on here, but making the bi-directional nuts and bolt is not quite as easy as you might think!
Below is a link to YouTube that shows how it was made....it took this guy 4 tries (which means it would take me 8!).
The narration on this video is in Russian (I think), but there are subtitles in English. You might
just as well turn off the sound unless you understand the language. And the little Makita router trick
is totally awesome! I want one! (BTW, there are a few quick adverts in the video).
This is fascinating!

Let me know what you think!

PS: It sort of reminds me of a level-wind axle as seen below, or, as seen on a bait-casting fishing reel.
