Hi. Great idea. Have to modify a little, the bits here are a little different. They tend to have square shanks. Glad to see a new video, you must have been busy with work. Now you can peg some cabin furniture together.
Thanks David! Yep, that's the plan, I'm getting a 32 mm auger bit to make some benches and furniture. I'm been busy lately, yes! The auger bit I'm using is a Bosch with an hexagonal shank that I bought on Amazon; just to let you know!
wow thanks for sharing thats pretty good. another way is to make a square / hex hole in a piece of steel plate and screw/bolt the plate to the handle, then the auger goes through the handle and steel plate which stops it turning
Wow, uno de tus canales favoritos, muchas gracias! Me alegra que te guste la idea, puedes copiarla sin problemas! Si no te importa, dime si te funciona bien cuando acabes el adaptador. De momento el mío funciona perfectamente!!!! Saludos!
Hola, muy buena idea la verdad, la estoy intentando llevar a cabo. Podrías dejar el enlace a las diferentes brocas? Entiendo que todas tienen que tener el mismo tamaño en la parte superior (parte exagonal) para que encaje. Por otra parte, lo único que no consigo encontrar son las dos últimas partes de la pieza, he mirado en Leroy Merlín, Bahus y nada... Gracias, enganchado a este canal!
Hola Carlos, me alegra que te haya gustado el video. Las diferentes brocas las he comprado en amazon, se llaman "brocas salomónicas" y te aparecerán un montón (www.amazon.es/Bosch-608-585-705-salomónica/dp/B003TWOZYI/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1KAQQ1DA70W9Y&keywords=broca+salomónica+bosch&qid=1671016862&s=tools&sprefix=broca+salomonica+bosch%2Cdiy%2C75&sr=1-4. Ten en cuenta que la parte hexagonal de la pieza de bronce hay que adaptarla (agrandarla) para que acepte la base hexagonal de la broca (como esta puesto en el video). Las he solido coger de Bosch y creo recordar que en Leroy Merlin también las hay. No me arreglo bien con la pagina web de Leroy Merlin, por lo que no puedo ponerte enlaces. Estas piezas las pille en tienda, y no las he vuelto a ver y no se como se llaman, siento no poderte ayudarte ahí. Toda la idea partió de estas dos piezas, que las vi y se me encendió la bombilla. Muchas gracias y un saludo!
How are you keeping your auger from turning inside your scotch eye? I know of 3 types of auger shanks, square shank, tapered square shank, and round shank. I don't recognize your auger shank type. Trying to follow your video on my phone leaves me scratching my head. I'll need more in depth step info and a computer. I have older bit braces and hand cranks, but packing those into the woods would be a pain. Dave Canterbury did a scotch eye adapter with a black iron T and iron adapter, heated the adapter in the forge and drove it onto the tapered shank but not too far so it'll take several sizes of augers. Another guy used a T with a metal end plug with the square lug used to tighten it on, drilled a hole in the lug, and sqared the hole with a triangular file to fit same type of tapered auger.
Hi John, did you figure it out yet? So, the point here is that I wanted a to carry tools to make different sized holes in wood, should I ever wanted to make any builds in the woods. But i didn't want to carry several auger bits, with the bulk and the weight that it implies. Trying to find a solution, I found sets of drill bits for wood, made by Bosch, that work with power tools, fairly cheap! These drill bits have hexagonal shanks, so I needed an adapter that would hold an hexagonal shank. First idea was to use a hex nut-runner welded into a steel tube. Bus since I don't have a welding machine this option was out. Then in a home depot I saw some brass pipe fittings with hexagonal holes, that with a little bit of elbow grease and a file would fit the Bosch bits. So, that's everything. Hope that helps. Cheers!
@@EgoitzSalsamendi, don't get to Home Depot much. I'll have to check out those bits and fittings. I'm thinking 1 to 3 bits max for bushcrafting practice. My hand tools are antiques I've gotten from estates. The Scotch eye adapter is a good option for in the woods. Looking for a basic gimlet. Having Dave Canterbury's crooked awl, blacksmith's knife, and the Scotch eye made by a blacksmith friend of mine, and I have a spoon carving set. Just need to get out and practice.
@@johnruckman2320 nice! Yeah, I'm thinking 2 to 3 bits would be enough too, for bushcrafting. Depends on what you are planning to do in that day I guess. It's funny but since I did this video people around me, friends, family etc. have been gifting me scotch eyes and other antique tools... Cheers!
Hi Bill, the main reason to cut the T fitting was exactly that, it was threaded on both sides (but not in the middle part) That made the inner diameter of the tube considerably smaller, reducing the size of the handle that would fit inside, making it extremely weak. Also brass is quite heavy, so cutting the T fitting reduced considerably the weight of the adapter. Also also, making a tapered handle you avoid sliding problems. ☺️☺️☺️ Thanks for your comment!
@@EgoitzSalsamendi as it was mentioned in nearest comments, i am curious how the sanitation brass will stand against hard twisting, but only time can tell. happy new spring!
Yeah, only time will tell. So far it's felling pretty tough and I don't think anybody would be able to break it barehand. The wooden peg would break first!!! You can try it yourself now that you know how to make one. Anyway, I will let you all know if it breaks (hopefully I will catch it in a video!)
@@ian0green Thanks mate! I'm planning to buy a 32 mm drill bit to make some benches and furniture. That should be a good test; it should put a greater torque in the brass adapter.
Hi Bud, I mean if it works for you... This is the solution I came up with, but there are many more! With this adapter I can use all the modern drill bits I can find in a hardware store chap. No need for traditional auger bits. Cheers!
Very informative and interesting as always, many thanks. by the way, where did you buy the flush reducing bush? I've checked in leroy merlin and a couple of hardware stores but no luck so far.
Hi Jordi, thank you for your comment. I bought mine in Leroy Merlin (www.leroymerlin.es/fontaneria/tuberias-de-agua-y-griferia-de-paso/tuberias-cobre), they should be easy to spot in their web page, but it took a while to get them all in the actual store! All the products were out of place, due to costumers handling. What you really need are the hexagonal shaped bushes that are going to take the drill bits and the 1 inch tee for the wood stick, then you try different bushes that allow you to bind these pieces. It took some time and a visit to different Leroy Merlin stores, but I was able to find all the pieces. Have a nice day!
@@EgoitzSalsamendi I Ioved your video. Would enjoy maki g one dor myself. Can find everything but the Flush Parallel Bushings with the Hex hole. Nothing like it in America as far as I can tell. Best wishes!
Hi Amy. thanks for your comment. Measurements came in inches in the bushings so I thought they were standard everywhere, including America. In my case, I wasn't looking for the hex hole, I came across it in the store and the idea of an adapter popped it to my head. It turn out that there were no more hex holes in the store. Have you tried online? Good luck!
@@EgoitzSalsamendi yes I have tried online and could not find those last Flush Bushings. I like your design and maybe instead of the last bushing with the Hex hole in it, I can find a way to affix a receiver for hex bits. Your design is great for people who do not have access to welding or milling machines. I will persevere and will update you with how I figured out how to safely connect the Auger to the Eye. Best wishes!!!
Well, brass is a pretty tough material. I don't think anybody would be able to break it barehanded (you can try it yourself now you know how to make one!) I think the wooden peg would break before the brass hand-hole does, should someone be strong enough to apply that much force. It's working pretty nicely so far, whit any signs of fatigue! Thanks for your concern, anyway!
Aupa txo! Yo las he visto en Leroy Merlin y en una tienda especializada para trabajar madera en Gasteiz ("Suministros Roca"???; 13 Comandante Izarduy Kalea). Yo los compre en Amazon: "Broca salomónica Bosch", y luego el diámetro que quieras en mm. Ez horregatik!
Hi Joseph! Thanks for the comment, mate! I cut the T pipe to reduce weight. It's a pretty hefty bronze piece so I don't think it would weakened the tool. Didn't have any problems yet! Cheers!
Всем привет! Вы хотите, чтобы я сказал вам название этих сверл на русском языке? Я не знаю этого, но я купил свой в Амазонке, они "Сверло Bosch Wood Auger" (www.amazon.com/s?k=Bosch+Wood+Auger+Drill+Bit&ref=nb_sb_noss_2) Удачи!
Brass it's pretty tough! It's not as hard as steel, but it's not as brittle either! I'm pretty sure I won't be breaking the adapter due to pure force of my arms. And I guarantee you won't be either. Anyway, in the improbable case that i do break the brass I let everyone know in my channel. Cheers!
Hi there. Glad you think this is smart. The point of the video was to make an adapter that could hold as many drill bits as you want. For me different sized drill bits work the best for making the cabin and furniture for it, thus and adapter that could hold all of them was the best and cheapest choice. Also traditional drill bits are expensive and hard to get where I live, but modern ones are readily available and cheap. Maybe you have enough with just one bit and therefore is cheaper for you that way!! Cheers!
Of course the most important part doesn't exist in the United States... might want to rename your video "Auger bit adapter for bushcraft that only can be made where I live."
Well, since I don’t have a welder, I doubt that it would be cheaper (first I would have to buy the machine). Since I’ve never use one, I doubt that it would be simpler for me. I would probably make a mess of everything, so I strongly doubt the weld would be stronger. But if you have one and you can use it properly, go for it! I do have one welded by a profesional and it works great, it took him a while though! This video is intended for people in my situation. Cheers!
Egoitz Salsamendi lol, the scars on my own hands agree with you. No job done by your hands is complete until blessed with a dash of your own blood. Stay true.
Yeah! I put some sweat and blood in that cabin and the tools I work with. Nobody can't say they aren't mine!! 🤣🤣🤣 We share so much blood we could be relatives!!
When you trying to avoid civilisation but you still need its whole industry (mining, metalurgy, logistics, factories etc) to make a simple tool just to pretend that you dont need industrial society LOL
Absolutely right! Unfortunately I don't have a forge and I'm not a black smith so I can't make my own tools! I'm not planning to learn blacksmithing either, so I rely on industrial society! Sad but true! Have a nice day!
The materials cost less than 15 bucks so it's not expensive. It's heavy as hell, so you are right there. I think it's pretty awesome, and most of the comments below agree with me! I'm always eager to learn, so please show us how to make it less expensive, less heavy and less dumb. Have a nice day!
@@EgoitzSalsamendi some agree with you. Not “many” . Here is the answer. Black steel pipe 1.5 inch dia. Cut it 1.5” in length. Weld it on. One could use galvanized but it doesn’t weld as well. Caustic smoke too.
@@EgoitzSalsamendi yes. But you have a friend that will weld it for a pint ! I considered your method in copper and galvanized but deemed it to heavy and bulky. The $20 bucks was the least worry. Bushcraft on my good man!
You should never drag a file backwards!!! If you were looking at cost being a factor a few drops of Loctite would have been cheaper. Or even better 2 cheap 11mm end wrenches would serve the same purpose 😉
Great DIY adaptation.
Thanks mate! Glad you liked! It’s working really nicely, didn’t catch any signs of fatigue in the brass!
What an honor, a FNBS favorable opinion... Awesome.

No offense but, it seems to be a lesson in frustration, at least it would be for me!
None taken! Not sure wat you meant though! The thing works really nicely, so no frustrations!
Stainless is way cheaper holmes.
It's cheaper, simpler and stronger just to weld a deep socket onto a 1 1/2" section of rigid pipe.
Well, since I don’t have a welder, I doubt that it would be cheaper (first I would have to buy the machine). Since I’ve never use one, I doubt that it would be simpler for me.
