[Shop-talk] Mason jar treads in wood?

[John Innis]

I do not have the exact solution you are looking for, but I might have an
alternative.  When we wanted to do something similar (making a small parts
sorter from baby food jars) we drilled a recess into the wood with a
forstner bit and screwed a jar lid into the recess in the wood (lesson
learned, use two screws so the lid can't spin).  The lid provided the
necessary threads and the recess in the wood hid the lid, so that it looked
like the jars were screwed directly into the wood.
