Question

A small hand tool with a pointed spiral tip, used for boring holes in wood?

Answer 1

A gimlet. Used one often when I worked for BT. A hand tool quickly and readily available for making holes relatively easily through corners of door frames, window frames etc . Also the tip used as a starter hole for screws.

Answer 2

A bradawl has a small chisel type tip. An Awl has a point and a gimlet has a small screw thread on the end.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/yCYTz
