Never cut threads before
On the plus side, you probably shouldn't start now. Shimano skewer threads are rolled, for good reason. To put the same thread on the plain shank after cutting to length you'd want to swage it down to the right starting diameter for thread rolling, which is less than the starting diameter for thread cutting.

I have lots of broken seat clamps, (the plastic cam thing is all mangled on them). And also loads of shimano front skewers which are surplus. it would be satisfying making a long lasting fix out of stuff I already have.
By loads I mean between 20/30 and bikes to put them all on so the cost of the kit wouldn’t be so steep per clamp. Never cut threads before 🤔...
