I have settled on a final design for the height-adjustment mechanism. It involves a wooden screw to steady the main post, as well as a cross-peg to support the weight of the stand, as well as to prevent slippage. The wood threader/ die is sold by grizzly. I have never used a wood threader before, so I will have to learn to use it. When I buy a new tool, there is always a learning period associated with it. I usually read all the instructions that come with the tool as well as read any articles or videos online that I find about the tool. I then use some scrap wood and practice with the tool until I feel comfortable with using it on a project. However, I will not have to worry about this for a while as I will only do the threading after the central post is complete.
