    If you want to keep the bark on the pegs next time, cut a ring in the bark at the depth you need the pegs inserted.
    That way as you hammer down to that point, the bark will split away, rather than peeling.

      I used drill bits for the entirety of my career. You most definitely need to start screwing and no baton into the wood. I'd recommend just trying and seeing if that works better on a *new* spot on the wood or a new piece of wood all together. Also, the thickness of that post could be too small to the point that it will split given the size of the bit.

    Sorry to chime in here a little late but this tool was designed for bushcraft use and not recommended for hard wood as I am the creator of this design! I personally check every one that is purchased from me for dullness! If it doesn’t make the cut it gets resharpened and sold as refurbished! Also in my packaging it comes with a disclaimer stating it is recommended for green wood or soft wood! Not to say it will not work on hardwood because it will but I’ve not had an opportunity to test it on every kind of wood out there so I labeled for soft and green wood! Battlebox does manufacture these for me and in return they can use them in their boxes. The issue is they simple do not monitor their quality control as well as I do. If I do have a faulty one slip through the cracks I WILL make it right!

  • @AHagridLookalike
    @AHagridLookalike 3 роки тому +4

    A couple things I can think of might have had an effect on how well the auger works. I ordered an auger bit similar to this one, and it came VERY sharp on all the machines edges, BUT it had an issue with the threads on the screw. The threads were full width all the way down to the very point of the screw, so it was essentially a tiny cone-shaped auger instead of a screw, which usually has the threads taper down to nothing toward the tip. It didn’t pull into the wood at all. I took an auger bit file and tapered it myself. Now it works like a charm. The second thing is that if you baron the auger into the wood it may affect the threads, especially if the thread was full-width all the way down to the point of the screw like mine was. If that was the case, a wide screw thread like that might just fold over completely and make the auger not work.

We will be fish tailing the auger in the shaft end=(forged flat) to be welded in line with the eye and the eye will be 4" long. Also adding protruding teeth in line of cut to outside of cutting edge to simply turn the excess wood off before removing to reveal the peg sugar pie. Hopefully we can sell a few to pay for our own each!!! Combination auger and eye length we're thinking should be 12". And another friend wants one also that can manufacture the nylon and velcro sheaths and hand guards so wish us luck sweetheart!!!!!

    Jeff, I believe I have what you need. Last summer I came across some old furniture out on the street for bulk pick up. This stuff was early 60 s Thomasville type stuff. Anyway I stripped off some carved hardwood dowels for clubs and Escrima sticks. They were attached with 21/2 inch threaded rods that are 3/16. I found 3 and will send them so don't drill anymore until they arrive. Screw one half way into the long stick with the other half into the cross member and you are in business. I wish I had more but 3 will give you a good start. There is a place for everything in the house etc. etc. I am quickly losing the capacity to remember what place.

  • @danp6897

    I think the main issue is the angle of the drill bit cutting edge and the sudden taper of the center boring part of the bit to a full width of the main part of the but. Old school hand drill bits are angled much closer to being like a small plane, to scrape off a smaller shaving of wood per revolution, and generally have a gentler taper from starting width to full width.

    I’ve not used this particular instrument, however, most bushcraft three bit augers should be used in fresh cut green wood. If you would like better results in dried hard woods use a two or single bit auger. You could buy or make your own from a yard sale item, they typically come with a triangular bit made for a hand drill.

  • @kaizoebara

    When I first saw that thing, I had my thoughts about it. I am reasonably sure that the four spiral construction is a huge liability - you can't get the torque and downward pressure needed to force the four cutting lips into the wood by hand - unless it's very fresh and very soft wood. Probably also too dull to begin with; resharpening - again - being impeded by the four spiral design.
    I have bought a set of vintage wood augers from the local fleamarket and they work. They were also dull, but they only had a single spiral, so I was able to resharpen them. I used them to enlarge the slot for a butcher steel on a beech knife block to accept a ceramic rod without a problem. *Sharp* steel cuts wood easily. ;)
    P.S.: The dowel cutters I've seen were used differently from what you did. They are usually embedded in a workbench, sawhorse or simply a block of wood with the edge of the dowel cutter facing up. The dowel blanks are inserted from above and are forced through by beating them with a primitive mallet; a thick branch with one end slimmed down to form a handle, pretty much, so it won't matter if it gets chewed up by hitting the edge of the dowel cutter.

    Your idea for making a camera stand was good.
    Yes, the wood was hard but I don't think that was your actual problem. The hole you were trying to cut into the branch, was almost the same size as the branch. Just a little bit smaller. Before you started to drill it, I was concerned that it would have the strength that you wanted to have.
    But what I think your problem was the curvature of the sticks. On the sides of the stick you were not getting any bite at all with the drill. If you had a flat surface, or a bigger stick it may have worked.

    I heard a key part in your description.
    I have one of these Setler's Wrenches. In fact I bought a factory second... so, it's not as good as the one you have. (I had to sharpen the peg maker)
    The thing I heard was that you thought you were supposed to batton the drill bit into the wood. This cuts the fibers in the wood and creates a small cone shaped hole.
    Instead, try to twist the drill bit part into the wood in order to get it to bite into the fibers.
    (as a tip: I sometimes use my belt knife to make a started hole similar to starting a bow drill kit.)
    As fre as green wood vs. dead wood goes, dead wood only makes it more difficult to turn to drill. I've used it in both.
    Hope this helps!

    I just unboxed mine and tried it on soft wood. Spruce. Not dried but not just cut. Truthfully it was our Christmas tree that was in water until January. I cut the tree down myself in late Dec. I did not baton it in. I feel that the lead tapered screw is not long enough, aggressive enough or large enough. It cannot generate enough pull and grip to put enough pressure on the blades. The blades have a tiny point that extends a fraction of an inch lower than the blades but they do not cut deep enough to do what a chips auger does. I work with wood quite alot building projects outside and I have never seen this design. All my chips augers only have one blade that cuts horizontal and one blade that cut vertical. They work great. This one didn't. It did the same as what happened in the video. I think I will return mine to Amazon and weld a chips auger on to a chunk of pipe and then shapen one end of the pipe and heat treat it. Should be better and cheaper. Thank you for the video. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    You shouldn't have to baton it in that from part is actually threaded to act like a screw. The bit should draw it's self in. You should leave a piece of wood in the bit to act like a handle. This set up is meant to mimic an old style auger.

  • @dwaynerobertson383
    @dwaynerobertson383 3 роки тому +1

    Yeah, I am pretty sure batoning that bit is a bad idea. Failure to drill properly could be because it's such a hardwood, or because it's dull...but either way don't baton that tip into the wood. It needs 'virgin' wood to sink into, and pounding it just creates a kind of pulp at the tip of the bit. It jams it up, clogs it up, and it can't self-tap. Also, the tip on these bits are not designed to take forceful blows from batoning and hammering at all. You've been lucky so far not to bust that tip off, and if/when you do you have a problem! I wouldn't push it much more. Play around with pines and cedars and even willows and Manitoba Maples if you have 'em, so long as it's green. It's a maple, but I believe they are a much softer wood than other maple types. They certainly spread out and fall apart like willows. I thought this was a Scotch eye auger? Cool honest review though. Hope ya' get more fun out of it asap!!

    It’s not actually a “drill bit” it works more like an end mill bit. The threaded bit at the end helps keep pulling it into the wood but the bit itself doesn’t dig.

    I think your bit was too wide for the piece of wood you were trying to use it on. Test this theory by trying on a larger oak log (green)

    Yeah you are not supposed to baton the screw thread tip into the wood. The screw thread tip, is what pulls the auger into the wood, So you want to give it every possible opportunity to do what it is designed to do. Like any "screw", it is not advised to baton it deep into the wood! Or you risk tearing up the integrity of the wood, that the screw thread tip needs to grab onto, in order to pull the auger in. Also the risk of breaking the screw thread tip off, is seriously not advisable. Because once the screw thread tip is broken off or seriously damaged IE. stripped. In your case, I can see the auger is not working because the wood has been stripped out and the screw thread tip has nothing to bite onto! The auger will not work if the screw thread tip has nothing to grab onto, hence the reason it is not advised to baton it in, just let it screw in normally. This barely takes seconds and gives the screw thread tip maximum pulling power! I hope this advice helps you and others.

    First thing to note on the review. When using that bit you are going to have to exert a lot of down pressure on that bit. Survival isn't cotton candy fluff and easy life. I've used the wrench without much problem but again you WILL have to work up some sweat using this, there is no way around that. The number one reason most people fail at survival skills is they do not have the mindset that "this is going to be hard" so they bail out on the task. Exert down pressure on the bit while drilling and it will drill. If its dull, learn to sharpen bits. Its an auger bit like any other welded onto an end fitting. Not really much room there to design something "bad".

    Man. I do a lot of primitive/historical woodworking and there are WAY better ways and tools to do those two things. With very simple tools and hard wood is not an issue. For that project you just the basics, bush craft knife, sharp chisel, and folding saw. To make it even easier get a good axe and brace drill. Add a broad axe, froe axe, hand planer, Japanese pull saw and a full chisel set and you can make almost anything. Build a cabin and all the furniture in it.
