This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Tool care.

Drilling larger holes can be done with a few different types of bits.  Spade (or paddle) bits are generally for slightly cruder applications and shallower holes.  Maybe you hit a nail while drilling once?  Let's sharpen that bit!

 
 

Here's a video of what we're after:


Minimum requirements:
 - Sharpen a spade bit
 - Make it visibly sharp

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
 - Closeup view of the dull bit
 - Action shot of sharpening
 - Closeup view of the sharp bit
 
Hoo hoo hoo! Looks like we got a live one! Here, wave this tiny ad at it:
