The block of wood and the threading issues are handled the same way. Use a “mandrel”. The mandrel can be held by a Jacoby chuck or any other chuck that can hold the mandrel. A mandrel is a metal rod with threads on one end. The non-threaded end is held by the chuck. A hole is drilled in the blank. The hole is the appropriate diameter for the threaded end of the mandrel to be screwed into. Instructions come with the mandrel.
