Adding threads to fork?

In stowing away the decorations from what was not the most epic holiday celebration in the History of the Spadoni’s, due to weather and sick kids, I came across several sets of forks. Where they came from is a mystery, but quick inspection shows they have steerers too long for any of my frames and I do have a couple frames that need forks.
so here’s the question: how hard is it to add threads to a steerer tube? Does cutting new threads as opposed to just chasing threads mean the die will need to be resharpened and so it will be cost prohibitive to have it done at a shop? Yes, I understand I will have to trim the steerer when it’s done, but for that, I have the right tool.
