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.

[@tone1132]

well the first problem is...... it's a Battle Box. I did a year of this, at the top tier. Everything was either a gimmick or a knock off of real equipment. most expensive let down of 2017......

[@ShawnWithTheWildALONES7]

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!

[@TheCattyKid]

Great video Jeff - I remember your reaction when you opened it in the battlbox vid (love that series) - keep going man - watching 10 plus years!

[@randyyeager]

I think your problem was that you pounded it in first...so where the threads would grip the wood....by pounding it in...you strip the wood and give the threads nothing to grip

[@asiegele517]

Hey Jeff, just a tip, the case that your auger comes in has a hole at the bottom so you can put the auger threads into it while hammering the auger head. That way your hand doesn't have to touch the threads 😊

[@kimnielsenthewordyvikingett159]

A friend with a machine shop and I are making a 1&1/2" version all stainless steel sweetheart!!! 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!!!!!

[@AHagridLookalike]

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.

Very interesting BATTLBOX video,Jeff.

[@serridgeas]

Jeff, the bit is fine but the thread at the front pulls the bit in you don't hammer it in and you aren't meant to just use them free hand you are meant to put a dowel through

[@ByGraceIGo]

Thanks for the heads up because I just got one of these and was not able to go into the wood and I was like what? They made it look so easy on KZbin! Well thanks for clearing that up now I know why. Ash and oak are two words that are very hard and that's mostly what's on the property here where I live. 😑

[@jgbullen]

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.

[@lsieu]

This was very helpful.

[@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.

[@user-neo71665]

In the winter even a "green" tree will be a bit harder because they are dormant and the sap isn't flowing.

[@kimnielsenthewordyvikingett159]

Oh gosh I also forgot to mention I sharpened the auger further with my dremmal die grinder with a fine grit sanding barrel preferably more than 200grit but taped the center drill first not wanting to dull it even by accident sorry I didn't mention it earlier sugar!!! And of course thank you so very very much for your videos being extremely important as of late with Putin losing his mind and all!!!!

[@Woodchuckinthesouth]

I heard a key part in your description.

[@Hissatsu5]

this is a cool tool concept

[@Thin447Line]

I remember loving to do wood projects with black walnut. That wood is so hard it wears out saw blades quickly. It's almost like cutting through stone! I imagine oak behaves similar. Can you sharpen the bit?

[@Cooperman8328]

I used mine on dry ash with no issue other than it being hard to remove the peg from scotch eye. You let it thread itself in until it bottoms out then add handle and continue
