Attach the die head to a ratcheting pipe threader handle. Lubricate the end of the pipe with threading oil. Place the die head onto the end of the pipe. Ratchet the handle while applying pressure to the die head to start cutting.

Answer: Loosen the jaws of the vise by turning the handle counterclockwise just far enough to fit the pipe between them. Place the pipe in the vise so the end you want to thread is sticking out, then turn the handle back clockwise to tighten it and secure it in place.  Note that you can use either a regular table vise or a pipe vise that is specially designed for holding piping in place. This method uses a ratcheting pipe threader to cut threads into the end of a pipe. A ratcheting pipe threader consists of a long ratcheting handle that holds a circular die head at one end, which is a ring with several sets of teeth inside of it that cut the threads. When you ratchet the handle, the die head spins onto the end of the pipe, cutting the threads as it goes on. If you don’t have all the equipment or don’t want to purchase or rent it, you can also have pipes threaded for you at a home improvement center. These will protect your hands and eyes from any metal slivers and accidental cuts. It will also keep your hands clean as you lubricate the pipe and pipe threader throughout the process. You can just wear 1 work glove if you prefer to leave 1 hand bare to grip the handle of pipe threader better. the pipe if you need to make it a different length. Use a pipe cutter or a hacksaw to cut the pipe to length. Insert a reamer in the cut end of the pipe and rotate it around to remove sharp burrs and smooth the end out. A reamer is a cone-shaped manual rotary cutting tool that removes the rough edges of a cut pipe as you rotate it around inside of the cut end. Read the numbers on the different die heads for the ratcheting pipe threader to see what sizes they are. Select a die head that is of the appropriate size for the pipe you want to add threads to.  A die head is the part of the pipe threader that actually cuts the threads. Ratcheting pipe threaders typically come with die heads in a few different common diameters. The face of the die head has numbers on it that indicate the size of pipe it is for. For example, if it says 1/2 on it, the die head is for threading 1/2-inch piping. You can purchase or rent a ratcheting pipe threader and die heads at a home improvement center or hardware store. An inexpensive ratcheting pipe threader with 5-6 different die heads costs between $40-$60 USD. Remove any die head that is already in the handle by pulling it out. Slide your selected die head into ring at the end of the handle until it snaps all the way into place. The ratcheting handle is the handle you use to move it around the end of the pipe to cut the threads in it. Apply a generous squeeze or two of threading oil to the outside end of the pipe. This will lubricate it so it’s easier to put the die head on as well as lubricate the teeth of the die head, making it easier to cut the threads. Don’t worry about applying too much lubricant. You need a lot to get the job done, so just squirt away until you have completely saturated the outside end of the pipe that you are going to cut threads into. Slide the center hole of the die cutter onto the end of the pipe. Push it into place as far as it will go. If it’s hard to get onto the pipe, you can squirt some more threading oil onto the pipe and the middle of the die head to make it easier. Push against the die head, towards the pipe, with 1 hand. Ratchet the pipe threader’s handle clockwise with your other hand as far as you can go, maintaining pressure on the die head as you do so to make the teeth start cutting into the pipe. If you feel resistance as you do this, then you know the teeth are biting into the pipe and starting to cut the threads. If you don’t feel any resistance, you probably need to push harder on the die head.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Walk like an alpha male. Make eye contact. Introduce yourself in a confident, steady voice.

Answer:
When you approach the girl you have your eye on, don’t wander around, casually bump into her friend group, and then awkwardly initiate an interaction. An alpha male sees the girl he wants to flirt with and approaches her directly, with confidence and purpose. Walk like you are in control, with slower, determined steps. You know where you are going, and nothing is standing in your way. As lame as it sounds, don’t be afraid to practice your walk in your home. Try to find a place with mirrors so you can observe yourself. Sometimes, people have nervous twitches that they don’t even notice, so don’t be embarrassed to practice a little bit. When you’re talking to a girl that you’re interested in, especially an extremely attractive girl, it can be intimidating to look straight into her eyes. But when you divert your gaze, you send the message that you believe she is out of your league. Most women aren’t going to be interested in flirting with a man who has already unconsciously announced he feels unworthy.  When you introduce yourself and start talking make eye contact. This doesn't mean you should stare at her — that can be a little creepy. It's okay to break eye contact occasionally. If she’s in the middle of a conversation, wait until there is a slight pause before saying something like, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but I had to come say hello.” If she’s a bit taken aback, that’s a good thing. You’ve immediately shown her that you’re confident and you don’t hesitate to pursue what you want. Extend your hand for a handshake to show you’re mature, and make sure to grip her hand firmly enough so she knows you feel secure in your interaction.  Avoid pick-up lines. Women are attracted to genuineness, so don’t act like you’re using a flirting manual to talk to her. Tell her confidently why you approached her. You can say anything from, “I saw you from across the room and I had to come say hi to someone so gorgeous,” to, “I really wanted to introduce myself to someone with such a beautiful smile.” If you don’t want to use a compliment right off the bat for fear of sounding cheesy, make sure you plan another logical opener. If you have mutual friends, you can say, “You’re friends with ____, right? I recognized you and had to come say hello.” You can even make an observation to start off a conversation, like, “I noticed you’re eating _____, isn’t it excellent?” By planning something to say, you’ll avoid an awkward silence.
