 One of the basic needs of woodworking is to drill holes. In my previous short, I recreated one of the earliest forms of the drill, the pump drill. Next up, we have the wood auger. Dating potentially as early as 2000 years ago, the earliest version of these were spoon shaped, which required a starting hole made with a chisel. Later versions developed into a helix shape screw, which allowed her to borrow out and clear the hole better as a drill. The handle forms a T-shape, allowing you to twist the auger in. I had some issues with it breaking because of the heat treatment, but eventually got a properly hardened tip like a drill. Unlike the pump drill, the auger moves in one single motion, making it a bit more efficient. Next up, I'll be making the brace drill, which came a little bit later in history, but has the advantage of allowing continuous motion whenever having to stop and potentially getting stuck.
