I know how both are done, but haven't tried it yet. That second one is fiendishly simple to do, but I'd never think of how to do it in a million years. The thing that stops me from making the first type is that I really want to do it without having relief at the ends of the threads such as the first picture, but I can't figure out for sure how I would do it without a retracting tool holder. I think I know, but maybe I'm making it harder than it should be. don't want to give anything away here. LOL
I made one years ago without the relief at the end but it turns out looking like a piece of threaded rod with a knob screwed on each end. The reliefs point out that the knob and the threads are one piece.
