BowEd:
Here's a little puzzle to figure out.How did the nut get on the threaded bolt?The ends are solid with no threads.A local farmer/machinist gave this to me the other day.

PEARL DRUMS:
Unless that nut moves, I'm saying its two studs screwed into one nut.

That or the nut is a tad oversized, difference between saw and netric. The nut looks a tad crooked

PEARL DRUMS:
Every nut it just off "flat", the amount is based on the pitch of the thread. Not much, but all are.

Its impossible to make what you see without welding and re-machining threads where the two studs are joined after the nut is threaded on one of them. You can put the material in dry ice and shrink it down .002-.004", but not enough to make it fit over the shank. Even coupled with making the nut red hot I don't believe you can make it move that much. 

sleek:
If i were to make that puzzle, id make one stud, threads and all, then screw on the nut. Have a threaded hole on the end, screw in the other half of the stud, and then cut its threads. You have to do it without removing the first half because when cutting threads, once moved, threads never line up.
