Do you remember what catalog you saw this size in?
Obviously, it's going to be tricky to chuck my house up for turning,
which is why I am looking for a hand die ;-) Thanks for the info.

Sorry, I don't -- and I looked.

Well, thanks for looking. I did find a 1-1/16 x 12 TPI die at
McMaster-Carr, which is almost close enough - maybe if I fired
up my dremel and ground out most of its threads...
Or maybe, I'm thinking, if I get a 1" NPT conduit coupler, which
happens to be 11-1/2 TPI, cut some wide saw kerfs and hammer it
down to size...
