Again I bow to the master! I have sat trying to come up with a fast way to make the handle attachment. I was thinking way to complected, Will have one before the end of this weekend. Thank you for being such a fantastic teacher. all this and not one word spoken.
I like that one better anyway, It packs away cleaner. Great idea! I've been fighting tornadoes and terrestrial downpours all week, this vid took the edge off. :)
Dear friend. Powerful mind the yours! Congeatulations for that great idea. Enjoy it at the forest! I repeat again, you are great. Greetings from Madrid
One of your best videos you have ever made. I'm looking now for a long time for an right item like this. An you made it so easy, thanks man, you're the best. 👌
check with your local technical collage. the welding programs (and machine shop, and other programs) will often take on (non commercial) projects for a nominal charge (Last time I needed a welding project done, I think it was something like $10 to give me access then $5 to get them to patch a leak in the fuel tank for the motorcycle I had just bought) plus the students tend to enjoy having real world projects to work on instead of just laying beads on scrap metal
@@mattlewandowski73 also sometimes they have very expensive 3D printer.i needed to have something made and it cost me 10$ from a very special printer that printed in water soluble stuff and normal plastics.
@@Swedwoods Chap I would really appreciate some feed back from a great content creator like yourself on my videos if you could I would greatly appreciate it as I've only just started out and need any help I can. Thanks for your time even if you can't help your content inspires me. Kind regards Tom
Thanks for this briliant idea my friend😏👍🏻 Simple and effective..perfect for a homless hobo like me🌲🔥🏕️ You are inspiration☀️ All the best & looking forward to your new bushcraft adventures✊🏻🐺🍵 Ꭿℓℯℵ ⋮П￪⟨⋮
Clever and clean work! Impressive. Thank you for sharing this concept. It was very generous of you! When's your next Rocky workout, hauling those big logs into the woods to create things outdoors again? I really enjoy seeing you overcome such adversity.
Excelente idéia, aqui no Brasil, não acho dessas brocas para madeira desse tamanho, pode passar o link de onde comprou os materiais para fazer esse projeto, por favor? Obrigado.
Excellent idea. I’m not familiar with what the parts are called that you used as eyes to place a stick through as a handle. Can you please send me a link for those parts and also for the augers you drilled to make your kit. This will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks
Shacklebolts. They are used as attachment points for chain/ rope/ vehicle tow straps/ and as mounting/ attachment points for towing or securing objects/things/ vehicles/ military vehicles/ military equipment to rail cars. Hardware/ vehicle parts stores commonly have them
Did you try this in a hard wood ? I’m thinking about the weakness of the hole (torsion, breakage..). Thank’s for your all videos. Always a great pleasure for me...
This is a great idea if there's enough metal left in the auger shank to handle the forces involved. I'm going to try this one (looking for the biggest shank I can find.) BTW your drill bits will last longer if you slow your drill press down ... WAY too fast for the application.
Hi Corwin, I have the same looking bit as in the video - same colour and same tip profile. The angled tip of the bit indicates that this style of bit is not intended for drilling metal. Even so, youtubers demonstrate that any drill bit works on drilling through steel sheets if you slow the speed down. However I've not been able to make even a dent in my auger with my drill bits - slow speed, high speed... any suggestions? I feel like this is due to the auger being made from hardened steel... My drill bits now look like they have been severely filed down, yet the auger looks brand new...
@@icarcus1531 If the auger bit that you have is hardened tool steel it will be very difficult to drill with anything less than carbide (very $$$), and even then it will not be easy. Without seeing exactly what you've got, it's difficult at best to give advice on this. You may have to temper the area you want to drill on the auger to bring the hardness down to a level softer than your drill bits.
Hi Swedwoods, where did you find this specific auger bit? My hardware stores carry auger drill bits however their shape looks more like a regular drill bit (and the scotch eye auger shape is more like a corkscrew). 1" auger bits are also very expensive.. close to 100$! Buying a scotch eye auger is the same price, but they are all out of stock! Thank you in advance for any advice.
@@Swedwoods I've managed to obtain the auger bit. Tried to drill into it - no luck. Not even a dent. Yet my drill bit looks worn down. I think this may be because the auger is made from hardened steel? Are you using a special drill bit for hard metals?
You did a very nice job there my friend however, I do find the Augers really hard work to use especially in hard woods. Which type of wood is the sheath made from?
@@Swedwoods I designed one scotch eyed auger=(Settlers Wrench) without welding or drilling or attaching. A 7" tube with hex hole through one end to drive an ivy classic four flute wood auger 1&1/2" and 1&1/2" I.D.tube that the auger can be carried within the tube for a smaller overall compact size. Enabling the ability to drill at a considerable angle for more of an A frame looking structure with the considerably longer tenons achieved by the tube. In case you were interested sweetheart. Are you by any chance Swedish????
@@Swedwoods What part of the boreal circle are you in sweetheart??? Sweden 🇸🇪 maby???? If you'll read my channel description you'll understand my inquiry maby. But I'm guessing the Canadian 🍁 parts since your video is written in the english language???
I don't know if I missed something. Did you drill each end of the stick and only filmed one and then cut it in half? Also was that a 1 inch auger or what ever in metric? Thank you for the video. Always learn something new on your channel.
Hands down one of the coolest ideas I've ever seen for field expedient tools. Bravo, Sir!
Thanks!
Field expedient? It required a drill press. Which is orders of magnitude more expensive than the finest scotch eye auger.
@@LeMayJosephyeah, kinda knocks us regular guys out of the game
That is a great idea. Thumbs up.
Thanks Lonnie!

Great idea, going to show it to my Boy Scouts. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great idea
Brilliant. I've been looking for one of these.
👍👍
you're a genius. Thumbs up man!!!
A great idea to use a brace to fasten a lever.
And not less remarkable idea - a case for a drill.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thanks for another great idea.
Thank you!
Very cool idea wish I had a drill press I would do this today thanks for sharing!!!
thanks!
Awesome idea and a lot cheaper! Thanks for sharing and ATB Von
Thanks!

incredible idea .. merci

What a great idea! The hole in the bit should still be usable with a brace if desired. 👍
Thanks!

I appreciate the fact that you are a maker...not everything has to be bought. It's through things like this that you can be self reliant.
👍👍👍👍
brilliant.

Smart tänkt!
👍👍
It is handy and compact
👍👍
Genius! They should all be made that way. Sooo much better.
Thanks!
Any twisting of metal?
No.
Thanks for sharing brother. Seems I definitely need a drill press...or someone who shares with me xD

good vid Bro!
Thank you!
So auger bits are not hardened steel?
oh yes they are. But like on axes, saws and stuff you only harden the part that needs to be harden.
@@Swedwoods Got it. So the shanks are soft. Makes sense.
What do you call these items in the blue packets branded "Kayoba" at 00:01 ?
Чудова ідея та реалізація!
Дякую!
Smart och snyggt !
Tack!
What auger bit did you purchase for this?
Did you try this in a hard wood ? I’m thinking about the weakness of the hole (torsion, breakage..).
Thank’s for your all videos.
Always a great pleasure for me...
yeah that was maple. But should be no problem. If its to hard you need to sharpen your drill bit

Are the ends of those augers hardened? Would be a nightmare trying to drill through a hardened auger shaft lol

Pretty cool simple and to the point. But where's the peg maker??????? You can't always find a branch or sapling that's the right size?????
