Nailed in the battens. Ended up using a 3/16” pilot hole but I think a 7/32” would be better but I don’t have that kind of bit. #woodworking
While boring the first hole the auger bit got dramatically stuck. Ended up needing to use a hammer and a closed wrench to extract it. Brutal. #woodworking
@frew Try putting some wax on the bit.
@tomhoworth hard to do once it’s already in there 😉
