Imagine the situation: you need to drill a round hole of large diameter in a log or tree that is in a forest or in another place where there is no way to connect to electricity (or there is no corny electric drill and a suitable crown). How to be
There is one way by which you can drill a large hole in a tree and a log without a power tool, using only the power of your hands. However, to do this, you first need to make a simple device.
The first step is to make a homemade drill on wood. To do this, cut off a suitable piece of steel pipe. The diameter is selected, depending on the diameter of the hole to be drilled, and the length, respectively, of depth. Then the wiring of the cutting teeth is performed.
The main stages of work
In the end part of a home-made drill, it is necessary to drill a hole for an M12 stud or other diameter (depending on the pipe diameter used). After that, cut off a piece of the stud of the required length and weld a self-tapping screw or screw to it at the end. The more he gets, the better.
2 metal bars (round or square) must be welded to the top of the pipe to make it easier to turn the drill. If necessary, you can weld more rods.
At the last stage of work, we proceed to the assembly of the device. This will require a stiff spring, a large washer and nuts. For details on how to drill a large hole in a log or tree without using a power tool, see the video on the site.
