In this video I take an antique T auger with is an auger that was and still is used in the process of timber framing and boring holes in general. Even today it is of value, easily packed away it can be taken far from electricity and never requires charging! I split and rive a handle from oak firewood, shape it on a shaving horse I built, drill and taper a hole for the auger with a brace and bit and chisels. I complete the restoration by cleaning up the auger bit, re-tapping it's threaded shaft and sharpen it's cutting edges. I enjoy projects like these and hope to inspire others to find, repair and re use old tools. I'd like to know what kind of old tools you have saved from rusting away! Send me pics and leave comments about what you've worked on, I and others would love to hear about them.
