Birch Sap Auger

[Broadspeedturbo]

Thinking about next Spring?

A seller on Ebay has some excelent augers that I think are perfect for tapping birch sap in larger trees.

Just search on: "SCOTCH EYED AUGER 1".

A bought one last week and can recommend as very good value.
(new,1959 vintage with govt crowsfoot mark).
No connection to seller.
Cheers,

jnc

Thinking of getting one of these, quite a bit lighter than my bit and brace set! A stong stick, should make a good handle.

I managed to find one at a car boot for £1.50 last year

I got a number of augers for a kinda group buy before, I'm sure I have a couple left if you want one - if I can I'll probably get some more if there is enough interest


they are like the ones in this thread

Thanks Boatspeedturbo for the heads up - I have now just bought one. Should come in useful.

a la Ray Mears, a stick with the same diameter as the drill bit, hammered into the hole, and cut flush should work
