    Cat, in one of Charles Lewton-Brain's books (and very likely in the
    Orchid archives) is a method for making male/female threads that you
    could put inside larger tubing to make threads. Basically you twist
    two wires together over a core (depending on the size of your
    tubing, you could make the wire threads the size to go inside the
    tubing) and then unscrew them carefully and solder one set inside
    tubing and the other on the outside of the rod.
