Increase your wingnut size! Funny little wingnut project

Posts: 430 Threads: 68

i have a vintage Rogers hi hat stand that has a bracket that I assume had a stripped hole drilled out and tapped for a bigger bolt. The original part is a wingnut and was replaced by a big ugly bolt.

I have an extra original rogers wingnut and decided to increase its diameter and thread size so it fits the enlarged hole.

Increase the diameter and thread size?? you ask?

Yep.

Just getting started. First turn it down make it smaller to make it bigger:

Chucked in the lathe:

Okay, now I assume you have to attach a larger steel sleeve over the lathed-down nub and rethread? More pictures please! This is getting interesting.

And could one do this without a lathe? Bench grinder perhaps?
