You shape the end of the tang to the proper width for the threads you want to cut, usually not larger than 1/4 - 20. The sides of the part to receive the threads would be parallel to each other, not tapered. Then, use the appropriate die to cut the threads. Small dies are available at any hardware store.
Another way is to weld a bolt or a piece of allthread to the end of the tang.... |
