Cut my first thread today.

There is a lot to it.
The important thing is you did it and it works. From here on out you'll just keep getting better.
Congratulations!!

additional final "spring" passes would likely improve the result

Right you are, it helps clean up the uglies.

Finally got to making the actual nut for my Logan. Took my time and actually nailed the fit really well. Internal threading is even more 'fun' than external. I learned several things.
1. 4130 turns well with carbide but not HSS.
2. 4130 is a beaoch to part. Ended up using my band saw.
3. Drilling 4130 above 3/4” on my Logan is not going to work.
4. The dials on my Logan are next to useless.
5. Lots of work to do on the Logan to tighten it up.
6. The cobalt drill bits from harbor freight are awesome. Well worth the price.

And now for the pics.

The internal thread could use a bit of deburring, a three cornered scraper would do the job after the fit is achieved, then a final spring pass to clean up.
