Making captive screws with just "woodworking' tools

Not sure I understand how removing threads can keep a bolt in place. Bob Swinney You tap both the cover and the box. Then you turn down the shank under the head so it turns freely in the tapped hole in the cover. It works as long as the screw threads don't start into the cover threads before they disengage from the box, meaning there has to be clearance between the cover and the box of at least the length of engagement in the box threads.
