By the way, that threading tool looks pretty easy to make.
Apparently all you need to do is make the following parts:
My tapping dies are hexagon anyway, so I wouldn't want round die holders.
I think I'd design the knurled sleeve differently. I'd make it quite a bit larger in diameter.
In fact, you could probably just put the tapping dies right inside the the end of the knurled sleeve instead of having separate die holders.
I can start with just three pieces.
I could even start with just a round piece of stock for the tailstock arbor and hold that in a tailstock chuck
It's getting simpler by the moment.

- The tailstock arbor
- The Knurled Sleeve with built-in die holder.
- And a stop handle.
