Nathan,


You do realize, of course. that augers are their own slippery slope. Next, you
will be accumulating "Auger Bit Files", which are still available new, but at
fairly stiff prices. Then, since you have a Jones for large augers, you'll be
looking for other shapes of safe-edged files.  And handles.....


The last auger I bought was in a secondhand and antique shop in Keyport, NJ.
It's smaller than what you need, but as a price point I paid $15 plus tax for
it.  That included an original handle which had been spoke-shaven rather than
turned.

Who still misses Todd Hughes.  Yeah, I know he's still active on a BBS, but this
IS The Porch. He belongs here whether he knows it or not.
