Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't see how a drill press could work as the rods are 30" to 42" long and pretty flexible. We do have a nice lathe with thread cutting options etc... Which I don't know how to use, but maybe worth looking into if for no other reason than to learn how to do it. With a proper adapter, I can see how a nice electric drill might work, although it'd be tricky I think. If we end up staying with the "individually by hand" method (most likely) a ratchet and a nice sharp die would be the ticket for sure. I will do some more research into finding a semi local threading machine.

Thanks again for the suggestions,
Tom
