Commendable thinking but if you scaled that up, you'd never reach high enough to load the drums.

[Tony]

What about this then?  I seriously want one

Been looking at those since before getting the log burner.  I can't work out how to turn the screw on my lathe without a taper turning attachment.

You can make a little one quite simply, by cutting the head off a large coach screw and sticking it in a cordless drill.  Works a treat, I use it for splitting old decking into kindling.

Why not use one of those cone bits for drilling holes in metal?

Although its nice there is absolutely no danger using that one and no self respecting red necked hillbilly will go near it! hahaha

It's not the cone that's the issue, that's quite easy.  It's putting a thread on it that's a problem.  I have seen a video of someone doing it freehand with an angle grinder but it was a bit of a mess!

if you turn the taper by offsetting the tail stock then you should be able to screw-cut it in the normal way

I did think of that, but due to the angle involved, I don't think a standard dog would drive the work.

I think you all ought to think seriously about using coal

You can turn a tapered screw by offsetting the tail stock and working between centres and using the standard screw cutting system. To get a large taper angle make a pair of centres with ball ends rather than points. In the past I have centre drilled a centre and put a ball from a ball race between the workpiece and the centre.
If you want to buy a small one there are tapered threads used to hold polishing mops on polishing lathes.
