I made a 12x16 shed as desribed in Sobon's book. I used a manual boring tool and was very pleased with the results. I would also like a 1.5" auger bit that I could use in my .5" drill. Does anyone know of a source or have one for sale?
Thanks,
Bob

My local Ace Hardware carries auger bits with spurs up to 1.5" for a reasonable price. Also, I stopped at the Shelter Institute in Woolwich Maine the other day and was very impressed with there store. They also carry 2" auger bits and a nice selection of other tools and books. There web site is http://www.shelterinstitute.com
I am sure there are numerous online places to shop.

Timberwolf tools has three fluted boring bits up to 1.5" that work well. They have a hexagon shank that will work in a 1/2" chuck or a boring machine.
