It's a nice training piece, short threads running up to shoulders in internal, external and left-hand forms. If you're not already doing so, now would be an excellent time to start threading away from the chuck.

In case you muff up the stops? I don't think I ever cut threads on a lathe - does the tool have a tendency to keep going?
