I'm already subscribed to your Channel what's the best way to get the black set of pots and pans after cooking over a fire

[@normajeanhedlund7429]

Outstanding

[@andyking6605]

Great idea and Great Video! The more we learn, the better off we are when and if the need arises!! Thanks again!!

[@ewkmd]

I love these videos. They combine bush crafting, toolmaking, and artwork. These are pieces of art that are functional. Fantastic presentation!

[@nocram1975]

Love the reality check as always the only youtuber bushcrafter that keeps it true and not fantasy world

[@recall5811]

most talk about what they think you can do from the backyard of their rental, I go out and do It

[@pamelalandon2423]

Seeing you weld reminds me of how my Uncle's dog got her name. He got a new puppy while "The Streek" was on the radio. He was welding and the Puppy was trying to watch him. He kept saying, "Don't look, Puppy! Don't look, Puppy!" Then it came out, "Don't look, Ethel!" Thanks for bringing back that memory!

[@sheilagroleau2720]

Remember my dad and grandpa using one of those hand drills.

A while back I was doing a house renovation up in SW Missouri. The house was first built in the 1850' with many additions added on. The wild thing was the core building was held together with hickory nails. Yup, hickory. I always wondered how they did that and now I know. Good stuff!

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

A timely video for me. Welding is a skill I need here at the family farm. Post Covid, there are no repairmen that do home repair visits. So I will teach myself, or take a class at the local community college.

[@DanielSmith-yu9wq]

I've had some fun making a couple benches and a table. Having the ability to drill holes opens up lots of new possibilities.

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Best show on the Internet. I'm glad you put to use everything you teach. Not everyone does that. I appreciate your time and effort making this for us. See ya Sunday.

[@recall5811]

most talk about what they think you Dont Know, but do very little to no work

[@johnskitzis6540]

The more you know the better you are prepared for the unexpected. Thank you!👍

[@davidlee9299]

Glad I watched this one.... Thanks Corp..

[@marshallclowers1242]

What I think I like most about this is how you can maybe start off with some bank line/cordage to build the shelter (like if you have to get out of the elements right the f- now), and then reinforce the structure with the holes and dowels when time/weather/calorie intake allows. From a simple plow point shelter to a bushcraft-mahal. That thing would be awesome for constructing furniture around the campfire too.

[@DaveMarkowitz]

I really like how you're integrating metalworking with bushcraft.

[@dravenblaze6907]

Years ago I made one inspired by your original vid I made mine using JB weld a handrail hold/anchor a socket and a type of socket attachment for the size I needed. still using it ands can auger a 1 inch hole through 5 to 6 inches inches of wood to this day. the trick is knowing how maximize the potential of the JB weld. great vid. now I think I should learn basic welding. Thanks for all you put out there. really gives me some ideas that are useful.

[@Graywulf521]

Great video corp. I’ve got a couple of those in different diameters that I carry in a leather roll up in my bushcrafting bag. Added a piece of broken hardwood broom handle with it. Saves time making one in the field. Happy New Year by the way. Looking forward to all your surprises for us in 24! Stay frosty AF 👍

[@rushyahr7423]

I like your craftsman, "maker" vibe. And your bushcraft vibe. Also, i like how insanely punctual you are with your videos. Also that brass or bronze skillet pour was pretty cool. Don't inhale molten metal fumes too much. Some are worse than lead, but they all take a while to set in. Just use proper ventilation and stuff.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures through the woods

[@PlayaSinNombre]

This is a great DIY project to strengthen your shop skills and your woodscraft skills 😊

[@gregvose4281]

Your Mic on your hat works great, loud and clear, Thanks

[@riazam493]

Finlay you nailed it ! For this mid week vids, rather then do demos of basic bush-craft stuff that people already seen 100 times in some variation (boring) doing something like is 1000% more watchable and interesting. Not to mention that i actually am interested on how will you use this in the next vid. Keep finding stuff like this and you will fix you mid week vids problem for sure.

[@tamirundell8392]

Get through all the B's of this year for sure. I hope we don't need this to survive but it's good to know.

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

I want to thank you for all your content.In particular your Navigation playlist. I know that information is all over the net, but you basically did what I think was a fairly extensive course, and it's all in one place, from someone I trust. I have used a compass when hunting and doing photography for decades, using back bearings and dead reckoning, but you have helped to open my understanding wider, and given me a step by step process to develop my skills even further. I don't even know if you understand just how much these skills are truly needed, but I thank you very much.

[@mikelaney3026]

Thank you brother God bless you and yours and God bless the USA

[@raktoda707]

Amazing ! I like it, the concept, process,the finished tool.Thanks

[@StonehouseWilderness]

I didn't even know I needed a Wilton vise in my life! Thanks for another great video, sir!

[@melissajohnson3547]

Great video. Can't wait to see what your shelter build will be using those.

[@colinblake24]

I shared this video with my brother who likes to weld.

[@jamman3131]

Man I remember that video in fact as this was starting I was thinking didn’t he already do this? Great improvement!

[@DAVexpeditions]

Corporals Corner Forged in Fire...love it!

[@joeldickherber3545]

Great video I agree not something you'll use every day. But I never thought about making one myself. Thanks again, Corporal.

[@thomasdemaio53]

Awesome build. Try mortising the end of one stick into the side of another using an 1 1/2" auger. Then drilling through and perpendicular to both using a 3/8 (or so) auger and pounding a stick in. It's an extremely strong joint that resists movement. Just like chairs use

[@russellwatters5891]

Awesome AF! They are lighter and more compact than a DeWalt 20V...lol Love what you're doing 😊

[@colinblake24]

Love it. 2024!!!

[@cjvigil8020]

Hooya !! I used a brace and bit with a number of drill bits and one that is expandable to 1.5 inches.

[@josephwallace1938]

That's a cool idea. Thank you sir for food for thought

[@johnychristopher1547]

Love this Kelly, I show my kids your vids each week. We try to make or Put to use the knots you've shown as simple and reliably useful as you said and proved. Thank you from us to you, don't give up on us or your videos.

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Cool kit, man. Like the welding. Great idea for something new.

[@mrn1ce6uy]

It would be really interesting to see whether dowel or cordage holds up to time/elements better. Maybe set up an experiment somewhere close to home where you could evaluate it weekly/monthly and record the results? You could see what problems each one has over time; we already know that cordage is faster for temporary shelters, but would it actually hold up better over time? And for how long?

[@toddradtke6948]

Awesome, that's a good tool to know how to build. Doubles as a corkscrew as well in a pinch, when you have to have wine.

[@lordofpain3476]

I love the educational how to videos the best.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Great project Shawn, those augers are very useful!

[@earlshaner4441]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures

[@patriotordinance9695]

Great job . Your a vet it’s always 👍 up 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍😎🌴😎

[@tenchraven]

I think you introduced me to scotch eye augers, Corp. They are certainly heavy metal survival tools, but I am glad I've got my 1" in my collection of skills and tools, and even carry a small auger bit for my bit driver. If nothing else, the ability to make small jet stove in minutes without a saw has been useful.

[@caseyoutdoors3897]

I'm planing on making some antique looking furniture with mine to Sale at the campground we stay at. God bless have a great night

[@shadowlord5574]

Really enjoying these mid week videos. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@NaomiH.]

Very nice job. The weld looks nice after the clean up you did.

[@dougadkins4144]

Great video!! Thanks for all the work you put in to bring great content.

[@joseramirezjr.4098]

It's good to see a Craftsman applying his knowledge thank you for sharing

[@zoisbasis7791]

Thank you Shawn for another great video. The content is awesome and so are the lessons and ideas you give us. 👏👏👏

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Bravo corporal.

[@charlesgillette2925]

Excellent as always Sir.

[@NewHampshireJack]

We are looking forward to a fantastic 2024. Learning new bushcraft techniques, new shelter ideas, and DIY projects for the camp. Bring it on!

[@rexnoel1419]

Really like this video,be great for a emergency drill👍👍

[@TDGC1812]

What a useful idea. Gotta love his simple way to deliver this amazing knowledge. Now I want one of those.

[@GodschildinNC]

That would be a cool tool to use making a permanent structure. Make the bit the same size as the ID for the handle and you have a gauge for your pins.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Very cool idea for using wood under different conditions!👍👍

[@glennkirchens7970]

Always learning something from your content. Thanx, Peace.

[@miltonpomales5405]

Something different but extremely informative!!! Keep it up Brother!!! 🇺🇸🫡

[@GeneSims-yi4ln]

Just got a set of augers a couple of months ago. Used them a couple of times....if only someone would do more videos on that to give me more ideas. LOL I guess that would be a good way to repair one too. Good video

[@recall5811]

with views in the toilet and most not watching with will probably be the last one on this

[@GeneSims-yi4ln]

@@recall5811 well damn

[@michaelcox609]

I've made a set of those bits. They work great. This is another awesome video.

[@phyllisclark3896]

Thanks for this awesome video. I can do this for sure. Love the whole idea. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏

[@BlueManatee]

Not gunna lie i dont know what it is about this mid week video but this is such a cool item

[@Mr.McCallum]

Love my Scotch Auger!

[@loum3733]

Greetings from the land of ice and snow (middle of Alaska) 😎☕️🥶 for a long term shelter frame at a hunting/fishing camp this would awesome ! Thank you very much for presenting this amazing content!

[@steverose4639]

Good Job, Outstanding as always

[@kenemerson1075]

Great concept and idea. Shows you skills and again allows us to see what is possible by thinking outside the box! Looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024!

[@SpiritofWildWings]

Another great one!

[@Flashahol]

I totally forgot but I took an old drill chuck that was about to get trashed at work and got one of the mechanics to re-thread it for an eye bolt. Basically 1 step and absolutely universal. Only works one way, weighs a few pounds and don't forget the key but it takes anything from 0 to 3/8 of an inch, including 1/2 inch adapters, and no one will ever want to carry that around. Great for grid-down, not for hiking. Might as well make them permanent, compact and light.

[@jameskelly1680]

Miss those videos from the rainy PNW!

[@raindancer89]

Dear Corporal’s Corners , I just wanted to say I think You’re the man.

[@ABundyLife]

@CorporalsCorner, I believe I will make one of these and take the kids to try it out, they been trying some of your stuff out with me and they love it. Thanks buddy, Keep on keeping on🫡

[@BillHarrison-c3l]

I use the bits for drilling holes in 2×4s for 3-10 wire putting power in walls

[@MrDukesinner]

I made a one similar to your first one(with a 1/4" socket) a while back using a six point socket,with all the choices of quick change drill bits for cordless impacts it works great,thanks for your great videos sir,keep 'em coming!!

[@DavidMARTINEZ-ni3wt]

Thanks for the information in the video. Useful info, always great to have another tool in the toolbox, can never know when any particular skill may become useful.

[@jeromethiel4323]

One really good use of an auger is making a swedish torch. You can do it without an auger, but having one seems to make the whole process much quicker and easier.

[@thomasvosburg6926]

"Outstanding " a good place to start.

[@peerzeidler]

🍀📡Hello friend my group friend a friend for dis Corpelral!!Danke!

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

Thanks Corporal.

[@davidparker4649]

thanks for the video, i think a lot of people will need this info and other stuff from this place in the not to far times

[@stevennoble7254]

There is no end to your ideas thanks again...

[@texasroots]

Love the builds. Great to see. Great to learn. Great to put into practice. Thank you.

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

Bushcraft augers are so underrated.

[@recall5811]

which is why the video will be worst 10-10 and hidden in 30 mins

[@davidkruger5590]

If u make the ring the same inside diameter as the drill bit outside diameter and chamfer the edges to a sharp edge then you can use it as a tool to cut dowels to fit the drilled holes

[@werewolf74]

A few thoughts. 1. you can use the same diameter tube and put an edge on it to cut the dowel. It seems like a hex hole or socket on the tube, the woorden handle has a very slight dip to let it seat deeper might work as well, so you can break it down and swap the bit.

[@theronconrey9346]

Another great video. It's good to know that if I needed to make one of these I could. Like you said, another option to cordage.

[@michaelbackhaus7879]

Did you ever make one with the inner diameter is the same as the auger bit? That way you can make the dowel by feeding it through the hole of the handle. All you have to do is put a knife edge on one side.

[@ATOMECY]

💯

[@stevewood9477]

Good midweek. Looks like a good idea. Like this kind of connection. Thanks

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Cpl. Kelly, I like that boring tool. The uses are virtually endless.. different sized bits and you could build a nailess log cabin, just like the pioneer days. Please get the BS done and continue on your journey..great things are coming from you... Awesome AF

[@James-tz4cp]

Great video. Loved it. Gotta make one or two of those

[@Urbanwarrior88]

Another Corporal forge special!

[@michaelmcewan2364]

[@drewsteffen8166]

Nice beats carrying power tool and a generator.

[@danschram4052]

Very cool! Thank you.

[@wpbrigham]

Happy New Year sir! As always another Outstanding AF video! Keep on Rockin'

[@Stevej2013]

Great idea Corp. thank you.

[@stubnannie]

Thanks, I was looking at getting some for my nephews, & teach em how to make a rocket stove. I think I'll make these instead.

[@maxpower3050]

I learned something, great video.
