That doesn't always work out when the lead screw is an inch lead. You can get lucky with some lathes (as it appears Ed did), but it's best to engage it ONCE and leave it there until the thread is completely done.
I didn't disengage the half nuts. I did it the way I'm use to cutting metric threads and the way John's video shows.
