This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in
Metalworking.
Need to drill a big hole but don't have the right size bit? Let's forge a wood auger!
Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Forge a wood auger
- Any style is ok as long as it's for use on wood
- Does not need to have a snail (screw tip) but it would work better with one
- Made from hard steel
- Visibly sharp
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The project underway
- The finished auger
- Augering a hole in a piece of wood
