| Summary: | auger Gimlet and Orger: The two tools were similar in shape but the orger was longer than the gimlet. The orger was used in drilling holes for large nails and bolts. The gimlet was used in drilling holes for smaller and ordinary nails. The purpose of drilling these holes was to prevent the wood from splitting and cracking when the nails and bolts were driven in. (p.12) These are two types of hand drills used for the purpose of making holes for bolts and nails for the construction of the boat. The orger was used for bolts and large nails that were put into the kewl ("kwel"?) and stem and timbers. The gimlet was a smaller type drill used in making holes in the plank for the placement of nails so the planks wouldn't split when the nails were driven.
